...an important study...particularly suitable for scholars working in the field of American sacred music, but the biographical sections on the tunebook compilers will be of interest to general readers who want to know more about life--especially religious life--in early nineteenth-century New England. Southwestern Journal Of Theology ..this topic is carefully researched and well-written...Thanks to Davenport..we now have a fine volume that sheds important light on this regional repertoire. I recommend her book for every research library and as a fascinating read for all hymnologists. The Hymn
