Abstract

Abstract Abstract In winter 1990, sixteen choirs and congregations from the Pittsburgh area came together in that city to create an Epiphany hymn festival. The hymns, chosen from the newest Presbyterian, Methodist, Lutheran and Episcopal hymnals, were reprinted (by permission) in the program: each was introduced with a spoken commentary. Adapted versions of that commentary. which was based on the standard hymnal companions and hymn reference books, appear after each selection. Hymns sung in alternation drew the congregation, which was surrounded by choirs, into the singing in several ways: unison, harmony, canon, listening to others.
