This collection celebrates the diverse heritage of American hymn tunes—from Appalachian melodies to African American spirituals to the influential work of Lowell Mason.
This collection celebrates the diverse heritage of American hymn tunes—from Appalachian melodies to African American spirituals to the influential work of Lowell Mason. Kevin Hildebrand writes with church musicians in mind: hand positions and pedal lines remain accessible for less‑experienced players, yet the pieces offer enough musical interest to engage advanced organists as well. Featuring hymns such as “Oh, for a Thousand Tongues to Sing,” “Jerusalem, My Happy Home,” “What Wondrous Love Is This,” and “In Christ There Is No East or West,” this volume provides useful and expressive service music that highlights the ongoing story of American hymnody.
