Description

James J. Stanley has focused on some of the most popular hymn tunes of American origin in this collection of creative organ settings. Some tunes are from the great shape note tradition of folk hymns while the others come from the 19th century revivalist tradition (including three by William Bradbury.) Stanley’s evocative treatments provide fresh perspectives on these tunes, and will be useful for preludes, offertories, and postludes.
