Samuel Holyoke (1762-1820) and Jacob Kimball (1761-1826): Selected Works (Music of the New American Nation - Sacred Music from 1780 to 1820 , Vol 12) by Editor-Harry Eskew; Editor-Karl Kroeger ISBN 13: 9780815324096

New York: Garland Publishing, 1998. Scholarly text presents representative compositions by two American psalmodists who were actively engaged in the reform of American psalmody during the 1790s and early 1800s. American compositions were often criticized for two features: their failure to conform to the harmonic norms of European art music and their often vigorous, animated musical style, which was sometimes considered lacking in a reverent spirit appropriate for use in public worship. Includes an introduction on the composers' careers, suggestions for performance, and brief notes on each piece. 230 pgs. Illustrated. Minor tiny scuff mark on lower front and rear covers. Minimal shelfwear.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
