"Carmina Sanctorum" contains 746 hymns, 21 doxologies, 43 chants, 450
tunes and 7 separate indexes. The hymns are only the choicest, and
they have been carefully edited by that accomplished authority in
hymnody, Dr. Hitchcock, who gives the date and authorship of each hymn
and notes all abbreviations and changes in each page. The responses
are selected from the revision and make a complete manual. The cream
of the old [tunes] is all here. The cream of the new is all here.
As The AMERICAN CHURCHES HAVE GROWN IN TASTE AND CAPACITY FOR
MUSICAL EXPRESSION IN WORSHIP, THIS BOOK SEEMS TO MEET THEIR WANTS
COMPLETELY, GIVING THEM PLENTY OF TUNES, THEY CAN AND WILL SING, AND
AT THE SAME TIME EDUCATING THEIR TASTE AND IMPROVING THEIR PUBLIC
WORSHIP. It is also a pleasant feature that when new tunes are
furnished to certain hymns, the more familiar ones will be found
on the same page. To all this may be added that four editions
are published, two with music and two without, and they are all
cheap.--_The New York Evangelist._
