Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this volume, Howard Smither completes his monumental History of the Oratorio. Volumes 1 and 2, published by the University of North Carolina Press in 1977, treated the oratorio in the Baroque era, while Volume 3, published in 1987, explored the genre in the Classical era. Here, Smither surveys the history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century oratorio, stressing the main geographic areas of oratorio composition and performance: Germany, Britain, America, and France. Continuing the approach of the previous volumes, Smither treats the oratorio in each language and geographical area by first exploring the cultural and social contexts of oratorio. He then addresses aesthetic theory and criticism, treats libretto and music in general, and offers detailed analyses of the librettos and music of specific oratorios (thirty-one in all) that are of special importance to the history of the genre. As a synthesis of specialized literature as well as an investigation of primary sources, this work will serve as both a springboard for further research and an essential reference for choral conductors, soloists, choral singers, and others interested in the history of the oratorio.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sacred Harp, a tunebook that first appeared in 1844, has stood as a model of early American musical culture for most of this century. Tunebooks such as this, printed in shape notes for public singing and singing schools, followed the New England tradition of singing hymns and Psalms from printed music. Nineteeth-century Americans were inundated by such books, but only the popularity of The Sacred Harp has endured throughout the twentieth century. With this tunebook as his focus, John Bealle surveys definitive moments in American musical history, from the lively singing schools of the New England Puritans to the dramatic theological crises that split New England Congregationalism, from the rise of the genteel urban mainstream in frontier Cincinnati to the bold "New South" movement that sought to transform the southern economy, from the nostalgic culture-writing era of the Great Depression to the post-World War II folksong revival. Although Bealle finds that much has changed in the last century, the custodians of the tradition of Sacred Harp singing have kept it alive and accessible in an increasingly diverse cultural marketplace. Public Worship, Private Faith is a thorough and readable analysis of the historical, social, musical, theological, and textual factors that have contributed to the endurance of Sacred Harp singing.

Book excerpt: We believe that our friends and the great public will be better pleased with Victorious Service Songs than any other book we have published. Twenty years of association in writing, selecting and publishing gospel songs, combined with the knowledge acquired by observation in conducting the music of the largest congregations and choruses ever assembled for Christian worship, has given us a wealth of experience, the result of which we are passing on to you in this volume. From the beginning of our song ministry our ambition has been to raise the standard of gospel hymns and songs. We realized that this could not be brought about suddenly, but must be accomplished through a steady and natural growth. While fully appreciating the value of many of the old standard hymns (which appear in the hymn section in the larger type), we are firmly convinced that the tuneful, melodious gospel song must not be lost if we are to attract and retain the interest of young people in the service of song -- that vital factor of importance to the present and future activities of the church. With a reasonable number of new songs, together with many of the popular modern favorites, we have herein included a large number of the most famous hymns and tunes of the church -- a combination of both new and old songs that will admirably serve each and every department of the church work and worship. - Preface.
