In a few cases, "finer melodies, or better harmonies, have been substituted." The hymnal was described by the writer of Woodward's Church Times obituary as "the finest hymn book, both as regards words and music, ever produced in England." The tunes were categorised according to Plainsong, metrical melodies of 13th-16th centuries, Lutheran tunes, Old English and Scottish psalm tunes of 16th–17th centuries, and old French psalm tunes of the 17th century. Two tunes by Wood were included as were four by Richard Wagner. Fifty harmonisations are by Woodward and thirty apiece by Wood and Palmer. 120 of the texts were drawn from the translations of J.M. Neale, with 140 translations and 20 new compositions by Woodward. Six sets of words came from the Yattendon Hymnal, with words by Poet Laureate Robert Bridges. (en) |
