In Tuneful Accord

"Continuing his successful series of portraits of the many characterful individuals who have helped make the Church of England the institution that it is, Trevor Beeson turns his attention to the outstanding musicians who have definitively influenced its worship over the centuries. The image of Sung Evensong may seem timeless, but the patterns of Anglican worship have changed continuously. Beginning with the great Victorian modernizers who stamped their taste on music as much as church buildings, we are taken on a memorable and entertaining musical tour that takes in the impact of the Wesleys, the publication of Hymns Ancient & Modern, the great organ builders, Willis and Walker, Vaughan Williams and the English Hymnal, the Royal School of Church Music, the hymn writing explosion and the electronic age. All this and more in Trevor's inimitable and sharply observant style."--Publisher's description.
