This edition of the Psalter has been awaited with much interest,
and the knowledge that Dr. Storrs was engaged upon it has given
general satisfaction. The previous work has had a successful life,
having been instrumental, as the pioneer Psalter, in awakening
widespread interest in responsive reading. There were necessarily
some changes to be made in that edition which long use and
experience have suggested. More changes are made in this edition,
and we now have such a Psalter as will fully meet the requirements
of all non-Episcopal churches. It is needless to say that Dr.
Storrs is more eminently fitted to the work of preparing the
Psalter than most men, and the work will undoubtedly be accepted as
the general standard.
The work is furnished for introduction at low rates. Churches using
the old edition may exchange for the new on favorable terms.
A specimen copy will be sent, postpaid, for examination, to any
address, on receipt of 75 cents. Address the publishers.
DR. JOSEPH P. HOLBROOK
is by general consent in the front rank to-day of composers
of church music. He is the Musical Editor of “The Songs for
the Church,” “Songs for the Sanctuary,” “Baptist Praise Book,”
“Methodist Hymnal,” “Part Songs,” “Quartet and Chorus Choir,” etc.,
etc.
Holbrook’s tunes have thus become wedded to many, if not most, of
the acceptable hymns now sung. Compilers of hymn and tune books
are eager to secure these tunes, as they find that no book can be
said to be complete without them. Many of Holbrook’s latest tunes
are, however, the best he has made, and he has recently issued a
new book embodying them all, together with a fine collection of the
best English and American tunes. The
Worship in Song
contains 700 choice hymns and 500 tunes. In the selection of
hymns Dr. Holbrook has had the colaboration of several eminent
hymnologists, and on account of them alone the book will be found
to be the most acceptable yet published.
The book has been adopted by Presbyterian and Congregational
churches east and west, and adds greatly to the interest in the
worship wherever used. A prominent clergyman in Connecticut says:
“I am much interested in Mr. Holbrook’s book. We use it daily and
enjoy it. I have always thought the success of ‘Songs for the
Sanctuary’ was more due to the musical editing than to anything
else.”
For specimen copies, price post-paid $1.25, which may be returned
after examination, if desired. Address the publishers.
