Description
Excerpt from The Catholic Hymnal: Containing Hymns for Congregational and Home Use, and the Vesper Psalms, the Office of Compline, the Litanies, Hymns at Benediction, Etc
To secure hearty singing by a congregation there should be a strong - voiced leader, who stands facing the people. For very large congregations a good comet-player has been found to be a most effective leader of the tune. There should be a good supply of books - not less than one to every five person''s. The better the people are supplied with books the quicker and more satisfactory will be the results. Outside of church services the people should be encouraged to work at these hymns at home. The children in the schools should be taught to sing a selection of them appropriate to the passing season or festival thus laying the foundation for good congregational singing by them in after years.
The metres. - The usual method of distinguishing the metres of the hymns has been followed, so that if a change in the tune be desired, other tunes from among those of the same metre may be chosen.
