The contents of this volume give a comprehensive account of the great variety of musical forms used in parish church and Nonconformist worship in the 18th century. Each of the 103 pieces has been chosen because the editors believe it to be both rewarding to perform and to listen to. At the same time, they have sought to represent every important development in English psalmody during this period of profound social and artistic change.
Any individual work from this volume is available in printed or digital (PDF) format on request (archive@stainer.co.uk).
