I also am collecting Hymn Books. Also listing Hymn authors and Musicians along with publ date, Musical Key, and tempo. [current holder of copyright if easily available.] Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If you would care to correspond, I am "gospelsinger@cox.net" in OKC Metro area. <BR/>Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30611202.post-1152071027787097012006-07-04T20:43:00.000-07:002006-07-04T20:43:00.000-07:00Harlan,I meant no disrespect to Mr. Lillenas nor t...Harlan,<BR/><BR/>I meant no disrespect to Mr. Lillenas nor to the hymnal itself. <I>Glorious Gospel Hymns</I> is a fine collection of hymns, and I look forward to learning more about the works of Lillenas that it contains. I should perhaps have been more specific in my criticism: using it as a <I>reference</I> work, I have encountered numerous small irritations, such as the lack of tune names, metrical index, author index, or even occasionally (as I mentioned initially) clear attribution. I am grateful to have it in my collection, however, and I intend to keep using it.<BR/><BR/>I appreciate your comments, and your perspective on hymnody. May God continue to bless your ministry.Joshua Bowmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05825513382152813711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30611202.post-1152039669564193152006-07-04T12:01:00.000-07:002006-07-04T12:01:00.000-07:00Joshua,Great to see your interest in hymnals.

I was involved as publisher in the most recent Nazarene hymnal (Sing to the Lord 1993) and can attest somewhat to the complexity of making a book like this functional for a denomination as well as a general use book for anyone. Hymnals are snap-shots of time, when we stop and review the status of our hymnody. Yes, we are all about preserving the great stuff of the past, but people are looking for what fits their current world best when they shop for a hymnal. It's almost like a church directory though; bits and pieces start to go out of date rather quickly. I'd have to say that the current situation is vastly different from what it was only 13 years ago. <BR/><BR/>I've managed to collect a few myself over the years,including several personal songbooks from Haldor Lillenas, the prolific songwriter and namesake of my former company, Lillenas Publishing. It's exciting to handle and retain some of the great things of the past. I hope your collection grows significantly over the years.<BR/><BR/>God's blessings on you.<BR/><BR/>Harla MooreAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
