Description:Excerpt from The Boston Handel and Haydn Society Collection of Church Music: Being a Selection of the Most Approved Psalm and Hymn Tunes; Together With Many Beautiful Extracts From the Works of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and Other Eminent Modern Composers, Harmonized for Three and Four Voices Melodies, it is evident that a correspondent attention has not been paid to correct Harmony. To remedy this defect, has been the special object ofthe Society, in the present work. Many of the oldest and best psalm tunes, as they were originally composed, were simple melodies; and as the practice of singing metre psalms in public worship was only allowed, not enjoined in England, and was confined to the parish churches, it was not much attended to by the principal masters, who were chieﬂy engaged in the composition of Cathedral Music. When therefore the other parts were added to these simple melodies, metre psalmody being considered of minor importance, the harmonies were mostly added by inferior composers: And even when the harmonies were original parts of the composition, a beautiful air might be composed without any of that science which was necessary to direct with propriety the subordinate parts.
