On pages 724-727 of "The Hymnal 1940 Companion" is 'A Melodic Index' which classifies the tunes based on accent (strong or weak beat) tonality (major or minor key) and interval (whether the next progression is up or down). Could such a system help you in your search, Foolstroupe? If so, I can send you a copy of the table.
