Church Music.
Tue subject of Church Music is undoubt- edly a live one, as it is of the highest im- portance. The use of vocal and instru- mental music in the services of God’e house needs no justification from my pen, aor yet from that of any other, since it has been consecrated by all the ages which have intervened from the time when David chanted the praises of the great Jehovah in the Temple to the accompaniment of harps and other instruments of music even to this present hcur. ‘To music, in large part, we owe as well the dignity as the solemnity of our public worship, and hence the necessity for making the music we employ, and the manuer in which we employ it, alike suit- able and becoming to its purpose and in- tention.
At the last Church Congress in England Church Music received a large share in the deliberations of that august assembly, and I am sure it will please Islanders to know that the most valuable paper read on the subject was by the Rev. C. Hylton Stew- art, of New Brighton. This paper re- ceived the special commendation of the B'shop of Waketield, who desired to see it printed and circulated widely.
The experience of many years as an or- ganist and choirmaster and cleric in Eng- land and in Canada has naturally brought me a great deal into touch with the subject of Charch Music, hence my troubling you with this somewhat lengthy communica-; tion.
The Church Choir has ever been, and I fear will never cease to be (so long as it exists), the most fruitful source of all the worries and anxieties that vex the parson, though I can give no adequate reason for the anomaly unless, indeed, it be true of its members, as tradition avers (though falsely), of musicians in general that they cannot long agree either with each other or with anyone else. I suspect it would be nearer the truth to say that the majority of the young (and older) people who join our Church Choirs do so as if they were con- ferring a favor on somebody or other, for- getting the fact that it is a high privilege to have a share, however humble it may be, in the services of God’s house.
The choir is an expensive luxury—if it be a luxury;—it represents a large expen- diture (if not always in money, then in nervous foree); its concerns are constantly disturbing the peace of the congregation or well-nigh breaking the hearts of the par- son and the choir-master. Furthermore, it has now hecome the fashion in some quatters ior the church choir to give per- formances of a nature so elaborate and un- desirable that the stupefied congregation has either to stand and listen with amaze- ment, or else sit with grief and dismay while they sing. Finally, to complete the picture, the papers of the following day aunounce with admiration that the solo singing in such and such a church last night, under the direction of Professor somebody or othet, was remarkable. The church, then, is no longer a house of prayer and praise, but something mvure akin toa concert room.
The question has often arisen in my mind, Are church choirs worth preserving ? I answer, ‘‘No, I think not.” Those who take a deep and true interest in the sub- ject will agree with me when I say that the music in our churches should be ;: (1) Con- gregational; (2) Hearty; (3) Unisonal; (4) Reverent; (5) Congruous; (6) Holy, i. e., tending to holiness.
Congregational singing in church should be our first care. Where choirs exist they should lead, never usurp, the singing, as is too frequently the case in our churches of to-day. We of the Church of England rightly rejoice that we have our prayers and praises in common, i. e.. shared in by minister and people alike, We should see to it that this rejoicing in relation to the last is well founded. How shall congrega- tional singing be obtained? I reply, abolish the choir.
This somewhat drastic suggestion will, 1 have no doubt, startle your readers. Never- theless 1 say again, you can never attain to an ideal congregational singing so long as you retain the choir—especially if that choir be mixed. The tendency of choirs in the present day is everywhere towards dif- ficult music, which, of course, most effact- ively prevents congregational singing, and hence the very idea of worship is destroyed thereby. Every exercise in church, whether of minister, of choir, or of congre- gation, should tend to the worship and glory of God, and tu this end they should be subordinated. Moreover, the members of our congregations have rights which we may not ignore. They have the right to sing God's praises whenever they repair to His House, just in the same sense as they have the right to pray to Him: and who is there amongst us who will deny them the enjoyment thereof? There is no sadder spectacle, I think, than to see men and women having to stand in church and listen to the performance of a choir—wishing, but daring not, to sing, or even to make the attempt, lest the choral rhapsodies of a handful of ambitious musicians be spoilt, forsooth |! If the choir is ‘‘to be retained and had in use,” it should be for purposes of edification and spiritual growth.
Again, congregational singing may be ob- tained by establishing congregational sing- ing practice. This is the chief thing to be desired, though surprisingly few realize the fact. Let the congregation be invited as earnestly toa weekly singing meeting as they are tothe weekly praying meeting, Let the hymns chosen be such as may be sung to the good old melodies of the 17th and 18th cenruries, in which cur fore- fathers tock such undisguised delight and loved to sing ‘‘to the praise and glory of God,” and a change in our church music will soon be effected for the better. Pre- sent day music, though much, very much of it is so pleasing and sensuous, is yet, for this very reason, not nearly so well adapt- ed to the church services as the older and grander compositions to which I have just referred. Let the congregation be taught that they have theright tosiag, thatit is their
jiy4
duty (nay the privilege) to sing, and there
will not be very great difliculty in getting them to the weekly singing meetings. The organist and minister will both, of course, be present at the singing meeting, each in his special sphere doing his best
out the new and better plan. Th m- bers of the disbanded choir throughout the congregation will give most effective assistance and in the best way. Lastly —Have nothing to do with anthems. They have their place in the various musi- cal societies around us, and in the social and domestic circle. They have no place in the serviees of the sanctuary unless they are known by every member of the congre- gation and have been taught to them. Then we want greater heartiness in our church music. I like that word heartiness ~—from the heart, with the heart. It ex- presses al] that a good man feels when he sings the **Old Hundredth” as an act of thanksgiving to Almighty God. If our congregations sang, the singing could not but be hearty and inspiring.
Next, our church music should be unisonad. This, in order that the heartiness should be obtained. The bulk of the people who sing will sing the air or melody of the tune or chant sung, and this is both natura! and right. There is no one bold enough to assert that this could be improved or beautified by one ortwo here end there in the church singing an uncertain alto, tenor or bass which can have but the one effect of marring what might otherwise be a good thing. Unisonal singing is robust, vigorous and massive, and it has this great advantage when used inthe church service that most people can ‘*‘follow a tune” and in a short time acquire it for themselves. Thus if we would have a stirring hearty service, we are bound to strive after unisonal singing.
Io relation to my friends and co-workers of the Church of England, I would like to say that 1 do not advocate the exclusive use of the Gregorian tones, though they are for the most part so well adapted to congregational singing. They are majestic, dignified, and some of them of unique beauty. Best of all, they are hallowed by the sacred associations of many ages, during which they were the only music that awoke the echoes of British and other cathedrals in the service of God. Furthermore, they possess the character and merit of simplicity—they are easily picked up and become very much endeared by use There is nothing grander in the way of church music than to hear a congregation sing the Psalm ‘‘When Israel came out of Egypt” to the famous J'onus Pere grinus, none more uplifting. The simpler oar church music is the better it wili be, and for Psalm singing, nothing simpler could be devised than the Gregorian tones or those chants by Anglican eomposers which most nearly resemble them, e. g-, those by Tallis, Boyce and Pelham Humphrey's. Unisonal singing, such as I advocate, may often be rugged, may be harsh and inharmonious. I will answer, however, for its heartiness. The success which followed the labors of the well known evangelists, Moody and Sankey, and the enthusiasm which they awoke wherever they went was due more to the singing of the simple ‘‘Songs” by the vast numbers who thronged their
services than to augbt elise. What quartettee choir, owever finished their singing, could have evoked

so much spiritual enthusiasm, The complaint (heard on all sides) that our church services are dull and dreary is too well grounded. It would, I make bold to say, never be heard if; our singing were simpler, heartier and more congregational, To accomplish such a desir- able pur a London clergyman, pestor of a fashionable West End Church, has, for some months past, dispensed with the services of a choir and instituted congregational singing meetings, and with complete success. Many other clergy are about to follow (or have followed) his example.
Then our church music should be reverent, such as will maintain the dignity of the service of God’s House and tend to the deepening of the spiritual life. Music that is jerky, fipp- ant and sensuous breeds uurest within the oul by pleasing fancy and tiokling itching ears. No place is left for that restfal delight which should fill the hearts of those who worship the Almighty. Sir John Staiger, no mean authority, considers that there is no comparison between the church music of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and that of to-day, notwithstanding his having largely contributed to it himself; but nothing that bears his name is unsuited to the church, since his models have been chosen from Purcell, Boyce, Battishill, Tallis, Birch, Eldon, Aldrich and others whose ecclesiastic- al music will live forever. The stock of Ger. man chorals by Pleyel, Vu!pius, Rosenmuller, Luther and others is inexhaustible, and than these you can have nothing more dignified, more eminently suited to our church services, nor more musicianlike.
In conclusion, I would have our clergy and organists everywhere exclude from their repertory of church music every tune which, when sung, does not minister directly to reverence aad holiness—reverence on the body and its attitude, holiness in the soul—that they should set nothing for singing in which the least musical may not have some share. Let all be taught that they are individually responsible for the music of the sanctuary and that they go not to church merely to pray, listen to achvir or t» the parson, but simply to worship God in psalms, and hymns and spirit- ual songs, in prayer and in the study of His Word.
