ISBN 9781579997908. With Text language: English. Sacred.
More than 75 hymns are presented in this compendium of the hymnic efforts of David Hurd.
His tunes are coupled with texts old and new, capturing just the right mood and meaning of the words. Hurd's distinctive harmonic language and compositional style provide a wealth of musical expression for congregations and choirs alike.
Hurd's tunes--JULION, ANDUJAR and MIGHTY SAVIOR, to name a few--have appeared in a broad range of hymnals and are reprinted here in a single volume. But there are many more compositions that are printed here for the first time.
This edition will be extremely attractive to any text writers searching for a tune, as well as to hymnal committees who are interested in selecting the newest Hurd tunes to complement the "classics.".
