Here a hymn is said to evoke an affective world (a world of ' heart-rending sadness').
One often finds the hymn carefully rubricated, and intended to record the traditional local liturgies, appearing before rather than after the capitulum.
But overall the programme is a miscellaneous collection, and the pitch tends to sag noticeably in a hymn or a canticle.
It would be good to hear the actual words of new hymns and prayers and theological writings.
A further observation comes from comments made by three respondents who remembered hymns because they held personal associations for them.
He remembered being in a small church in the country, his daddy at the pulpit and the congregation singing that hymn.
The singing of hymns and patriotic songs reinforced religious and civic faith.
The three sections describe the women's thanksgiving, an intense dance of joy and heartfelt hymn of praise.
