New Catholic Hymnal

Since early Victorian times, music in church has lagged increasingly behind the developments in the secular field. The New Catholic Hymnal includes a number of new settings which are nearer the technique and spirit of the day than was hitherto customary. Whilst most congregations would baulk at contemporary dodecaphonic music, simple diatonic dissonance and other modern styles are refreshingly acceptable and inject a new spirit into congregational singing. Titles include: Alleluia * Go Tell It on the Mountain * Morning Has Broken * Kum Ba Yah and more.Petti, Anthony L. is the author of 'New Catholic Hymnal', published 1996 under ISBN 9780571100279 and ISBN 0571100279.
