Description
In this book, Alan Luff, former Precentor at Westminster Abbey & a respected consultant on church music of all kinds, has put the fruits of 10 years' service in North Wales into his work of wide and sensitive scholarship. The hymns themselves are not only considered in great detail, but also placed within the broader historical context of Welsh culture and Christianity, making this the definitive study of the subject. S&B / Hope, 1990: 255 pages. English language only. Although a scholarly work on the subject rather than a practical hymn-book, the text also includes many tunes in full, mostly harmonised in 4 parts (a capella), without words: these are -
