Treasures of the Singing Church: Organ Literature for the Liturgical Year
Based on Hymn Tunes of the Seventeenth Century
Volume 1 (Tunes A–H)

Dictionaries often define treasures as being jewels or precious objects that are highly valued because of their great worth. Hymns are great treasures for the Church. Through them the Word of God and the teachings of the Church have been sung into the hearts of Christian believers throughout the two thousand years of the Church. The vitality of the hymnic treasures that flowed from the Reformation is highlighted in the recording set, Heirs of the Reformation: Treasures of the Singing Church [99-2258].
