Some of the existing tunes have been rescored for several reasons, but mainly because a request for a number of previously higher pitched melodies to be lowered has been met. All tunes have been re-originated. There are approximately 260 new hymn tunes which have not previously appeared in the band tune book. The 75 choruses included from the former song book chorus section, which hitherto have had no band setting provided, have all now been made available with instrumental accompaniment. Approximately 40 of the new tunes were previously published in The Musical Salvationist or Sing to the Lord and the remaining tunes are either established hymn tunes which have not appeared in previous editions of the tune book, or come from more recent collections of new songs for worship. Because tunes are only required in the tune book if words in the new song book demand it, it follows that a number of tunes have been left out because the words are no longer included. The recording Kettering Citadel Band is among The Salvation Army’s most well-known, and in the midst of an extremely busy schedule, it has responded to the challenge to provide a selection of those new tunes.
