EXPLANATORY.

WORSHIP or praise is an individual matter. The attempt
to have either done for us by others, must in the nature of
the case be futile, and choirs that assume either to-worship
or praise for their congregations undertake the impossible,
and usually ﬁnd themselves simply performers, and their
congregations audiences, listening, as at a concert, to their
- musical performances.

All that choirs can do for congregations, beyond enter-
taining them musically, is in the way of preparing them for
musical worship, and in leading them in it—the worshiping
each must do for himself.

This does not imply that it is wrong to enjoy the music
of God’s house, for it is no more wrong to enjoy the music
of the choir than it is the eloquence of the minister or the
beautiful or grand architecture of the ediﬁce in which the
worship takes place. The disorder comes from allowing the
enjoyment to center and end in the music, the eloquence or
the architecture.

The old hymn says :—-

“ Rise from transitory things

Toward heaven, thy native place.”
Transitory things are not necessarily bad things. The tune
is transitory, the ediﬁce is transitory, all the beautiful
things of nature are transitory; yet they are all lawfully ours
for the fullest enjoyment they are capable of giving, even
in divine worship, if while using them we rise, in our
thoughts and affections, above the earthly tones or forms—if
we look “through nature up to nature’s God.” Since
"the greater includes the less,” he who worships God in
song keeps all the earthly pleasure of the music, while he
adds to it the'higher enjoyments of the heaven toward which
he rises.

But this task of “rising” must not be made too difﬁcult.
We are all so inclined to let our enjoyments center and end
in the senses, that small hindrances keep us down. The
choir who feel that they must please the people musically or
be dismissed, are bound by iron chains to their music; and
in exclusively choirmusic, if the congregation do not hear
distinctly the words that the choir sing, or hearing, do not
see any special appropriateness in them or in the music, they
will hardly ﬁnd it possible to listen otherwise than for mere
musical enjoyment. Especially is this true if they feel that

(ii)

the choir are there to “ perform” the music for them.
Still, in every religious society there are, and will continue
to be, those who cultivate music, and those who. however fond
of it, pay no attention to its cultivation; and from the former
will come choirs and music lovers who will not willingly
be conﬁned to the familiar tunes that all can sing. Any
true statement of the musical problem must include these
facts, and of course any plan for its solution must have re-
gard to them also.

The effort long and earnestly made by Dr. Lowell Mason
and his followers (among whom the author of this work
is glad to enroll himself), to have singers give up on Sunday
all music excepting that in which all the people could join,
has not succeeded. With higher musical culture comes so
strongly the desire to makeuse of higher musical powers than
the old tunes require that it can not be resisted. Still, tunes
are “ old ” only because they are good. Thousands of com—
petitors for public favor that started in the race with them
have dropped away and are forgotten ; and the “ old tunes,"
so rich in hallowed memories and associations, are, and
ever must be, indispensable to public worship.

It is well known, however, that exclusive choir perform-
ances have a tendency to place the “old tunes” and the
singing of them lowest in the musical services of the church,
which is a rank as unjust to their merits as it is hurtful to
their inﬂuence.

Moreover, the thought of choirs, as “ performers ” is not a
right one, for that implies an “audience,” and performers
and an audience are not the true elements of a worshiping
assembly. There should be neither “ lookers on” to see oth-
ers worship, nor persons to be merely entertained by what is
done. All should receive the instruction, all should unite
in the prayers, all should join in the singing, and, more im-
portant still, there should be union and cooperation on the
part of all, however varied their conditions and attainments.

So far as the music is concerned, when the trained voices
the people should neither listen as outsiders who have
entertained; and

sing,
no part, nor as an audience to be merely
when the familiar tunes are sung, the trained voices should
not lose interest by feeling that their best powers are not
called into action.

There should be no antagonism nor'even separation of

EXPLANATORY.

interests between choirs and congregations, and yet each
should have to sing that which is suited to the needs and
attainments of each. But how shallall this be accomplished,
and all be made to cooperate harmoniously toward a higher
usefulness for the music of the church and a nobler enjoy-
ment of it?

This question, it is the object of these further explana—
tions, and of this book, to anSWer.

There 15 not a familiar hymn that has not some Scripture
or other Words appropriate to it for illustration, introduction,
or preparation. There is not a standard tune that may not
receive new interest by an apprOpriate prelude. Let the
choir sing such words as illustrate, lead to, and prepare for,
the familiar hymn and tune, in music that is suited for that
object rather than for vocal display, and then let “all the
people” join in the tune as a chorus or climax, and, it is
conﬁdently asserted, the following results will be realized:

Ist. The musical eliect not being at its best without the
voices of the congregation to make the tune a climax, and
the climax not being reached without the illustration and
preparation by the choir, a need is created—of the choir for
the people, and of the people for the choir—that forms a
basis for union, good will and mutual cooperation.

2d. The congregation, seeing just what the words mean
that the chorr sing, and why they are sung—watching their
progress, and feeling their appropriateness as they prepare
for, and lead to, the ﬁnal song—are much removed from
the temptation now so common, to listen to the trained
voices for musical entertainment instead of devotional assist-
ance; and the choir, realizing the higher nature of their
work, will be equally relieved from the temptation (or per—
liaps necessity) also common, to sing for the mere entertain-
ment of their listeners.

3d. A new and better interest in the solos, duets, quartets,
and anthems of the choir will spring up. Heretofore the
more religious the meetings of a church, the less trained
chorr performances were wanted ; the obvious reason being
that the latter subserved little, if any, religious use ; but the
plan of CHOIR AND CONGREGATION will lead surely and
srfely to a union of worship and muSical culture; for the
more perfect and impressive the rendering by the choir of,

“ He is despised and rejected of men,”

the more heart-felt will be the response—

“ My faith looks up to thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary.”
In proportion as
"Now is the accepted time "

is sung persuasively so will be

" Hear, O sinner, mercy hails you,
Now with sweetest voice she calls! "

iii

or as the choir describe the struggle with our spiritual ene-
mies in the words:
“ They be many that ﬁght against mt,”

will the congregation be inclined to sing with new earnest-
ness and resolution,
“ My soul, be on thy guard,
Ten thousand foes arise,"
and so these services will be welcome and helpful in the
most religious meetings of the church.

When shall these Scripture selections which precede the
hymns and tunes be used, or at what part of divine service
shall choir and congregation unite in these tune services?
Shall it be only at opening or closing, or shall it be during
service when the hymns are usually sung? \

Whenever a hymn is appropriate its appropriate Scrip-
ture will be in order. A case can hardly be imagined where
the two would not properly go together. It will be always,
and only, a question of the preparation of the choir—the
tune will always be ready. At ﬁrst the choir may not have
time to prepare preludes for all the hymns, but as they be-
come familiar with the book they can accompany every
hymn with a Scripture selection, if it is desired.

When this is to be done, it is suggested that the minister
announce and read both selection and hymn. To facilitate
this, the words of the selection are generally printed by them-
selves at the top of the hymn page. When the minister an-
nounces and reads both selection and hymn it will be un-
derstood that both are to be sung ; when he announces and
reads only the hymn it will be understood that the prelude
is to be omitted. The congregation can either rise with
the choir and stand during the prelude, or they can remain
seated during the prelude and rise only for the hymn. The
advantage of the ﬁrst way is that they are then all ready for
the hymn, without the trouble and confusion of rising
during the singing. The tune should join the prelude
without interlude or delay, except in the special caPSes here—
after mentioned.

RESPONSIVE SERVICES.

The growing feeling that all should have something to
do in the services of the church, has already led extensively
to alternate reading, by minister and people, of psalms and
other portions of Scripture as a part of divine service.

The value of this exercise can not be questioned. ‘Besitle
helping to ﬁx the attention on what is read, all know that
there is a reﬂex inﬂuence from spoken words upon him
who speaks them, that thought alone can not produce.

There are, however, two difﬁculties in the spoken re-
sponses of a congregation, that to many people are hin-
drances to their usefulness.

EXPLANATORY.

The firstis the disagreement—almost impossible to avoid—
caused by not speaking the words together, and the second
is the disorder that cannot be avoided, of voices at all sorts

of pitches from low to high, mingling in a confused mass.

The obvious remedy for both these difficulties is chanting,
and, however the spoken responses may have served a
purpose, when once the measured and harmonious utter—

ance of the chant form has been attained, the “confusion of
tongues ” inevitable in spoken responses, becomes a serious }
trouble to the sensitive, thoughtful, and devout. All may1
be assured that the chant is more easily and successfully
acquired by a congregation than any tune, provided the
chant is a proper one, and the words to it rightly set.
That the musical utterances of responses is more emotional
' and more calculated to excite devotional feelings than
spoken ones, needs no argument. The Responsive Services
of the CHOIR AND CONGREGATION are therefore put forth
with the strong conviction that the idea on which they are
based, is an advanced one in this important and growing
department of divine service.

It is believed, also, that the chants here used are proper
chants, and that the words to them are so set that congre-
gations will ﬁnd no difficulty in using them.

The Responsive Service may take the place of one of the
hymns, or of one of the Scripture readings; or, if minister
and people have been accustomed to read alternately, it may
take the place of that exercise. Many of the Responsive
Services would come in with great appmpriateness just
before prayer, for they would tend to prepare the minds of
both minister and people for that act.
them would commence the prayer, which the minister as
the mouth—piece of the people might continue. In another
view, the Responsive Service might be the Old Testament
Scripture, which might be followed- the people being
seated—by a New Testament selection or the portion of
Scripture containing the text, read by the minister for in-
struction; the Responsive Service being always more for

In fact, many of

worship than for instruction. In Responsive Services the
connection between minister and choir and congregation
should be close. The instant one closes, the other should
begin; there should be no hiatus between minister and
response, nor between response and minister. The whole

exercise should be continuous and cumulative.

ADDITIONAL HYMNS AND SELECTIONS.

Additional hymns and selections are placed separately,

because they could not well be classiﬁed with the selections
and hymns in the body of the book. This does not, how. ,

ever, affect their usefulness wherever they are found appro-
priate, either in public or social worship.

ABBREVIATIONS.

Where long hymns could be abbreviated it has been
done, because the added Scripture selection lengthens the
singing service. In many cases, however, it was not easy
to see how abbreviations could be made, and such are left
to be abbreviated according to the subject with which they
are connected, or according to the taste of the minister.

The singing service may often be shortened advantage-
ously by omitting instrumental interludes, for it is Often
the case that listening to instrumental music between
verses breaks their connection in the mind, and causes
mere musical considerations to take the place of spiritual
ones. It is often the case that the subject of a hymn can—
not safely be disturbed from the beginning to the end of it.
This refers to devotional hymns and not to descriptive ones,

in which interludes are sometimes serviceable.

SELECTION and HY-MN, and PRELUDE and
TUNE COMBINATIONS.

In addition to the combinations for choir and congrega-
gation indicated in this book, others may be made by
chorister or minister. First, more combinations may be
made on the plan of those already made, viz.: identity of
keys and subjects, (with an occasional connection of rela~
tive minor and major.) Secondly, combinations may be
made where preludcs and tunes are in different keys, pro-
vided it is understood that the organist will play an inter-
lude between prelude and tune, modulating from one to

prelude and tune unless this necessity arises. It is suggested
that the minister always announce the Selection and Hymn

NOTE.—Will musical authors and publishers allow the author of this
work, as one of the fraternity, frankly to remind them of the outlay of
labor, time, and money that they see must have been expended in per-
fecting this idea and making it generally known? He is conﬁdent that
all honorable and Christian men will give him a fair ﬁeld for his experi-
ment, and will not seek, by making use of the ideas and plans that he
has originated, to reap for themselves the reward of his labors after the

hard work has been done.

I Thine earthly Sabbaths, Lord, we love,
hit there’s a nobler rest above;
To that our longing souls aspire,
\Vith cheerful hope and strong desire.

No more fatigue, no more distress,

Nor sin nor death shall reach the place ;
No groans shall mingle with the songs
That warble from immortal tongues.

No rude alarms ofraging foes,

No cares to break the long repose,
No midnight shade, no clouded sun,
But sacred, high, eternal noon.

1]. WATTS.

I Come gracious Lord, descend and dwell,
3y faith and love, in every breast;
Then shall we know, and taste, and feel
The joys that can not be expressed.

Come, ﬁll our hearts with inward strength,
Make our enlargéd souls possess,
And learn the height, and breadth,

and length
Of thine eternal love and grace.

Now to the God whose powers can do
More than our thoughts and wishes know,
3e everlasting honors done,

By all the church, through Christ his Son.

I With joy we hail the sacred day
Which God hath called his own;
With joy the summons we obey
To worship at his throne.
2 Thy chosen temple, Lord, how fair!
Where willing votaries throng
To breathe the humble, fervent prayer,
And pour the choral song.

LYTE.

3 Spirit of grace! oh, deign to dwell
\Vithin thy church below;
Make her in holiness excel,
With pure devotion glow.

4 Let peace within her walls be found;
Let all her sons unite,
To spread with grateful zeal around
Her clear and shining light.

13 WATTS.

I Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear
My voice ascending high ;
To thee will I direct my prayer,
To thee lift up mine eye.

2 Thou art a God, before whose sight
The wicked shall not stand ;
Sinners shall ne’er be thy delight,
Nor dwell at thy right hand.

3 But to thy house will I resort
To taste thy mercies there;
I will frequent thy holy court,
And worship in thy fear.
4 Oh, may thy Spirit guide my feet
In ways of righteousness!
Make every path of duty straight,
And plain before my face.

I Again the Lord of life and light
Awakes the kindling ray,
Dispels the darkness of the night,
And pours increasing day.

2 Oh, what a night was that which wrapt
A guilty world in gloom!
Oh, what a sun which broke this day
Triumphant from the tomb!

3 This day be grateful homage paid,
And loud hosannas sung;
Let gladness dwell in every heart,
And praise on every tongue.

Which scatters blessings from its wings

I This is the day the Lord hath made;
He calls the hours his own;
Let heaven rejoice, let earth be glad,
And praise surround the throne.

2 To-day he rose, and left the dead,
And Satan’s empire fell ;
To-day the saints his triumph spread,
And all his wonders tell.
3 Hosanna to the anointed King,
To David’s holy Son ;
Help us, 0 Lord; descend, and bring
Salvation from thy throne.

I Once more, my soul, the rising (lay ,
Salutes thy waking eyes;
Once more, my voice, thy tribute pay
To him that rules the skies.

2 Night unto night his name repeats,
The day renews the sound,
Wide as the heaven on which he sits,
To turn the seasons round.

3 Great God, let all my hours be thine,
\Vhile I enjoy the light;
Then shall my sun in smiles decline,
And bring a pleasant night.
