Overview

Excerpt from Carmina Sacra, or Boston Collection of Church Music: Comprising the Most Popular Psalm and Hymn Tunes in General Use; Together With a Great Variety of New Tunes, Chants, Sentences, Motetts, and Anthems, Principally by Distinguished European Composers It the question he asked, Why add another to the many books of Church Music now before the public? The reply must be similar to what would be appropriate, were the same inquiry to be made respecting a new book on any branch of science, art, morals, or literature. Books on all subjects, except there be some unnatural restraint to prevent, will be multiplied in proportion to the number and acquisitions of those who read them, and this very multiplicity, taken in connection With the very great variety of character and style necessarily involved, tends directly to increase both the number and attainments of their readers. So it is in music. In proportion as the art is extended, an increasing number and variety of books become necessary; while, on the other hand, an enlargement of the catalogue of books will directly facilitate the progress of music itself. What friend of musical cultivation, therefore, and may we not add, what true philanthropist, will fail to rejoice in the publication of any new book of Church Music, which, being founded on correct principles of science and taste, helps to enlarge the boundaries and to extend the knowledge of the art?
