The Choral Service Book: Containing the Authentic Plain Song Intonations and Responses for the Order of Morning Service, the Orders of Matins and Vespers, the Litany and the Suffrages of the Common Service for the Use of Evangelical Lutheran Congregations

Excerpt from The Choral Service Book: Containing the Authentic Plain Song Intonations and Responses for the Order of Morning Service, the Orders of Matins and Vespers, the Litany and the Suffrages of the Common Service for the Use of Evangelical Lutheran Congregations

IT is a matter of gratification that the interest in the rather special field covered by the choral service book has been so great as to call for a new edition within two months. We take this Opportunity to record our appreciation of the very cordial reception accorded our work upon its first appearance. We regret that sufficient time has'not elapsed for us to have received the many practical suggestions for improvements which might have been gathered from more extended use of the book and from sound criticism. The plates, however, have been care fully revised and a few typographical errors corrected, while a few additional authorities have been added to the Bibliography.
