Subject: Hymn History 1870 to present

With all the good hymn discussion in the recent past, I thought perhaps 
some of you could help with a project I am beginning to research. A few 
years ago, I researched and taught a thirteen week series on hymns and 
their history which was designed for an adult education program at 
Westminster Presbyterian Church in Lancaster, Pa. The time period 
researched and presented was from early Christian music/hymnody up 
throught the 1870s. The class was well received and many who did not 
attend have asked to have the class repeated while those who did attend 
have requested another class series dealing with hymn history from the 
1870s to the present. After finishing a 13 week series on "Death and 
Dying" which was estremely well attended, (I was going to be a mortician 
before I was rescued and turned to the music field by a professor at 
Westminster Choir College), it is time to get into the joy of music once 
again.

Some preliminary research has been done and materials obtained from the 
Hymn Society. With the wealth of knowledge within this group, I am 
asking for suggestions of research materials and recordings of 
individuals and groups singing hymns of the period in styles of the 
period. A recently acquired recording provided good musicianship and a 
fine selection of gospel hymns but was done in the Contemporary Praise 
Band style, which is not representative of the accompaniment of the 
period which in many cases was simply piano. This course will deal with 
the history of the church after 1870, its leaders, revivals, tent 
meetings and camp meetings of the era as well as hymn composers and the 
history a specific hymns

Your help in providing suggestions of materials for my research in this 
new adult class series will be much appreciated. In addition to my email 
address, you may contact me at Buch Church Organ Company, 1391 West Main 
Street, Ephrata, PA 17522-1313, via the phone at 800-242-3901 and FAX
