  Welcome To Church Music And The Hymnal 1982

  $21.95

  First new addition to the popular and well-established “Welcome to” series in years

  * First volume to introduce and explain church music and congregational singing
  for beginners

  Music is an essential element in Anglican worship; in fact, The Hymnal 1982 is used in
  virtually every Episcopal service of worship that involves singing. While most parishioners
  participate in music making at some level (such as singing hymns or common
  responses), fewer people might understand the specific genres that comprise the
  music of an Episcopal worship service or the liturgical meaning behind each selection.
  This book provides a more in-depth understanding of this rich and complex tradition,
  discussing the history and evolution of music within the Episcopal Church, including its
  Anglican roots.

  The book is designed to help clarify-and simplify-the importance of hymn singing and
  service music in Episcopal worship, as well as explain the history, structure, and content
  of The Hymnal 1982.

  For those seeking to gain a better understanding of Anglican musical heritage, increase
  participation in congregational singing, or expand their use of the Welcome to series.
