Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Manhattan Collection of Psalm and Hymn Tunes and Anthems: Compiled and Composed Under the Special Patronage of the New York Academy of Sacred Music, and Adapted to the Use of Classes, Choirs and Congregations, With a Figured Base for the Organ The present volume is not designed as a substitute for any of the author's previous publications. Musica Sacra, if we except the Appendix, the Anthems, and the few original pieces of a smaller size which it embraces, may be said to contain chiefly the old standard melodies of the church, which are now found in various styles of arrangement in most of the popular Collections of the country. Though these melodies will continue in favor for many years, perhaps centuries, to come they are not alone sufficient to satisfy the increasing demand for devotional music.
