Frost, Maurice. English and Scottish Psalm and Hymn Tunes c. 1543-1677. New York: Oxford University Press, 1953.
-
For the musicologist interested in early sacred music in England and Scotland.
-
The compiler focuses primarily on Psalm and Hymn tunes that are published in the Old Version psalter of England and Scotland. Other tunes published within the same period (approximately 1540 1650) are also included.
-
The book essentially indexes each major psalter independently, listing them in order of the psalms to which they were originally attached. Each entry includes the tune published in musical notation, as well as comments about texts commonly used in association with the tune. There is a listing which classifies the tunes according to the books in which they first appeared.
-
Brings together in one publication hymn tunes from a broad range of publications.
-
Not very helpful by way of indexing actual tunes across hymn books.
