New English Hymnal Full Music edition

Product Information

In the finished volume, a new appendix will provide cross references across the whole collection to hymns that are suitable for use on occasions or in ways outside the structured sections of the book. The New English Hymnal is a hymn book and liturgical source aimed towards the Church of England. First published in 1986, it is a successor to, and published in the same style as, the 1906 English Hymnal. [1] It is published today by SCM Canterbury Press, an imprint of Hymns Ancient and Modern Ltd. After its publication, use of the hymnal had been banned for a time by the Archbishop of Canterbury. [2] Ultimately, The English Hymnal, along with the Church Hymnal for the Christian Year, "undermined the uniformity of the Church of England and successfully challenged [the] hegemony" of Hymns Ancient and Modern, [9] which had been published two years previous. [10]

A new edition of The English Hymnal was issued in 1933, [12] which principally had better accompaniments by J. H. Arnold to the plainsong melodies, and over 100 new tunes. This was achieved without renumbering hymns or extending the book excessively. Instead many formerly duplicated tunes were changed to new tunes. Where unique tunes were changed the old tunes were moved into an appendix, which is often referred to as "the chamber of horrors", [13] [14] [15] a description attributed to Vaughan-Williams himself.
