The word "hymn" comes from the Greek "hymnos", meaning a festive song. To hymnologists (people who study hymns), the HYMN is the poetry, the lyrics, which is then set to a HYMN TUNE. Many wonderful hymn tunes have been used over the centuries with several completely different sets of words. The name of a hymn tune seldom matches the name of its hymn, and most people refer to hymns by their poetic names rather than their tune names. However, some hymn tunes are so powerful, so flexible and so rooted in the collective social consciousness that they transcend whatever poetry is put with them. Several tunes in this set have been used for many poems, most of which are unfamilar. But we know the melody instantly! Written for two violins and piano, both a viola and cello part are include to substitue for the 2nd violin. Hymns (tunes) include: 1. All Glory, Laud and Honor (St. Theodulph), 2. Crown Him With Many Crowns (Diademata), 3. Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken (Austria), 4. I Love to Tell the Story (Hankey), 5. Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise (St. Denio), 6. O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing (Axnon), 7. O Worship the King (Lyons), 8. Praise Ye the Lord, the Almighty (Lobe Den Herren).
