Excerpt from Church Music
1. Quot homines, tot sententi? may be said of Church music of the present day. Every one has his opinions, his tastes, his preferences, and his prejudices; and amid so many conflicting tongues it is sometimes difficult for the inexperienced student to know what to think, what to accept, and what to believe.
2. In the following pages an attempt will be made to guide the reader through this tangled web, to give him facts, principles, and deductions, with the hope that he will thus be enabled to see some light amid so much obscurity.
3. Every clergyman ought to know something of the art of music generally, and of Church music in particular. It is in reality as important as many of the other studies usually required as a necessary preliminary to ordination, perhaps more so than most of them.
