Try the first volume of the Hymnal 1982 Companion. It has essays on the =
history of hymnody in the US and England. The third and fourth volumes =
may also be helpful for individual hymns. Our library has a copy that =
I've found quite interesting and useful.

Subject: Hymn History 1870 to present
With all the good hymn discussion in the recent past, I thought perhaps=20
some of you could help with a project I am beginning to research. A few=20
years ago, I researched and taught a thirteen week series on hymns and=20
their history which was designed for an adult education program at=20
Westminster Presbyterian Church in Lancaster, Pa. The time period=20
researched and presented was from early Christian music/hymnody up=20
throught the 1870s. The class was well received and many who did not=20
attend have asked to have the class repeated while those who did attend=20
have requested another class series dealing with hymn history from the=20
1870s to the present. After finishing a 13 week series on "Death and=20
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=20
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=20
Hymn Society. With the wealth of knowledge within this group, I am=20
asking for suggestions of research materials and recordings of=20
individuals and groups singing hymns of the period in styles of the=20
period. A recently acquired recording provided good musicianship and a=20
fine selection of gospel hymns but was done in the Contemporary Praise=20
Band style, which is not representative of the accompaniment of the=20
period which in many cases was simply piano. This course will deal with=20
the history of the church after 1870, its leaders, revivals, tent=20
meetings and camp meetings of the era as well as hymn composers and the=20
history a specific hymns
Your help in providing suggestions of materials for my research in this=20
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=20
