Excerpt from Stonehurst Hymn Tunes The present day witnesses a great era of hymn book publication; and this may be accounted for in part by the number of hymns being written, hymns of a new order, for which the publishers are seeking appropriate tunes. Old' tunes are being used with_a fair measure of success; but the new wine cannot always be contained in the old bottles. A really great hymn must have its own tune and any hymn of worth should have proper setting if its message is to gain full interpretation. We need today a revival of the writing of hymn tunes. We need a revival of spiritual impulse among musicians who are primarily interested in hymnody. A great hymn tune has no definition. The wind bloweth where it listeth - and the hymn finds expression in music. The tunes in this book offer a possible setting for some new hymns and for a few older ones which are not being sung for lack of an acceptable tune. They are published with the earnest hope that others who have a love and gift for the writing of hymn tunes will not neglect the gift that is in them, nor fail to give to the public their contribution toward the worship of God and the expression of the religious emotions of the human heart.
