Yes, i'm referring to SLT the hymnal, or, as i prefer to call it, The Gray Book With All The Mistakes In It. Dan, I appreciate your input and can only hope that, next time around, you have a lead role in the editing! Personally, I think that care should be taken to consider the poor congregants who are going to use it. Greater (MUCH greater!) emphasis needs to go on providing melodies and allowing the option of harmonies. The prior hymnal had a lovely harmony arrangement of Morning Has Broken, but the new one decrees that the song be done in unison. How is this an improvement? I echo your problem with Love Will Guide Us and have spoken about it quite a bit, while pushing the full song. Someone also needs to let Nick Page (bless his heart!) know that triplets are an annoyance to many people and a needless complication for a lot of congregants. Another example of warped thinking is in the new adjunct that was published last year. They have a lovely piece based on the beautiful Sophia Lyon Phas reading "For So The Children Come." Good so far, but the editors suggest that a leader read the piece while the congregants sing the intervening chorus. The chorus is lovely, but NOT an easy read. It would make a lot mor sense for the congregation to read the piece together while a choir sings the refrain. One last bitch for this post. Why do we have room for the South African National Congress theme song and none for The Battle Hymn Of The Republic?
