  • ALH Online Review, Series XIX 1 Christopher N. Phillips, the Hymnal
    ALH Online Review, Series XIX 1 Christopher N. Phillips, The Hymnal: A Reading History (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2018), 252 pp. Reviewed by Paul C. Gutjahr, Indiana University For anyone familiar with the original novel, watching Michael Mann’s popular 1992 motion picture adaptation of James Fenimore Cooper’s The Last of the Mohicans starring Daniel Day-Lewis becomes an exercise in absence, for Mann deletes from his movie the sometimes comic, sometimes heroic figure of the psalm-singing David Gamut. Thinking of David Gamut in relation to Christopher Phillips’s new book, The Hymnal: A Reading History, is instructive for two reasons. It underscores Phillips’s point that the singing of psalms and hymns was ubiquitous in early American culture, and it also points to the fact that attention to the importance and ubiquity of such singing (and printing) has been as absent from scholarly discussions of the era as the figure of David Gamut is in Mann’s film. Phillips has done a great service to those interested in the areas of American poetry, book history, and lived religion in his meticulously researched, broad-reaching study. Following in the footsteps of book historians like Michael Cohen and Anthony Grafton, Phillips is interested in the “social lives” of hymnbooks. He studies them not only as carrier of texts and traditions but as an important “part of the everyday social practices of hundreds of thousands of English-speakers across two centuries” (ix). More importantly, through a systematic study of the use, first, of psalms and then the more elastically biblical poetic musical form of Scripture and scriptural truths commonly known as hymns, Phillips goes a great distance in showing just how pervasive and important hymns, and their books, were in the development of early American print culture more generally.

  • Hymnody of Eastern Pennsylvania German Mennonite Communities: Notenbüchlein (Manuscript Songbooks) from 1780 to 1835
    HYMNODY OF EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN MENNONITE COMMUNITIES: NOTENBÜCHLEIN (MANUSCRIPT SONGBOOKS) FROM 1780 TO 1835 by Suzanne E. Gross Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Maryland in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1994 Advisory Committee: Professor Howard Serwer, Chairman/Advisor Professor Carol Robertson Professor Richard Wexler Professor Laura Youens Professor Hasia Diner ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: HYMNODY OF EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN MENNONITE COMMUNITIES: NOTENBÜCHLEIN (MANUSCRIPT SONGBOOKS) FROM 1780 TO 1835 Suzanne E. Gross, Doctor of Philosophy, 1994 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Howard Serwer, Professor of Music, Musicology Department, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland As part of an effort to maintain their German culture, the late eighteenth-century Mennonites of Eastern Pennsylvania instituted hymn-singing instruction in the elementary community schoolhouse curriculum. Beginning in 1780 (or perhaps earlier), much of the hymn-tune repertoire, previously an oral tradition, was recorded in musical notation in manuscript songbooks (Notenbüchlein) compiled by local schoolmasters in Mennonite communities north of Philadelphia. The practice of giving manuscript songbooks to diligent singing students continued until 1835 or later. These manuscript songbooks are the only extant clue to the hymn repertoire and performance practice of these Mennonite communities at the turn of the nineteenth century. By identifying the tunes that recur most frequently, one can determine the core repertoire of the Franconia Mennonites at this time, a repertoire that, on balance, is strongly pietistic in nature. Musically, the Notenbüchlein document the shift that occured when these Mennonite communities incorporated written transmission into their oral tradition.

Title Emma Smith’s 1841 Hymnbook Author(s) Michael Hicks Reference Journal of the Book of Mormon and Other Restoration Scripture 21/1 (2012): 12–27. ISSN 1948-7487 (print), 2167-7565 (online) Abstract As specified by revelation, one of the responsibili- ties given to Emma Smith was to select hymns for the church. However, almost immediately after the revelation was given, tension arose as to who should compile the hymnbook and what its nature should be. This eventually led to more than one “official” hymn book for the church—the 1840 hymnbook created by the Quorum of the Twelve during their mission in England and Emma’s 1841 hymnbook. Whereas the apostles’ hymnbook focused mainly on restoration, millennial, and missionary topics, Emma’s felt more Protestant, focusing in many instances on the cross, the blood of Jesus, and grace. With the departure of the Saints from Nauvoo and Emma’s choice to remain behind, however, it was ultimately the apostles’ hymn book that was in a position to shape the hymnody for the present-day church.

  • Christopher N. Phillips, <Em>The Hymnal: a Reading History</Em>
    Christopher N. Phillips, The Hymnal: A Reading History Christopher N. Phillips. The Hymnal: A Reading History. Baltimore: John Hopkins University Press, 2018. xv, 252 p. ISBN: 9781421425924. US$39.95. Christopher N. Phillips in his book, The Hymnal: A Reading History, has expanded D.F. MacKenzie’s idea of “sociology of texts” (xi) into the genre of hymn books, calling it the “social lives of hymn books” (x). He states, “hymnbooks were part of the everyday social practices of hundreds of thousands of English-speakers across two centuries, and I seek in this book to articulate and analyze those practices” (x). Phillips divides the book into three sites of social reading: the church, the school, and the home, primarily in English society of the 18th and 19th Century. The church was a place of social identity where hymns were sung. James Martineau, a British Unitarian compiler and hymnist, recorded in his hymn book the dates that hymns were sung. In schools, the hymn book was a way of teaching reading to children. The hymn, “When I Can Read My Title Clear” was one of the most popular family hymns that helped children to read (106). The home was the place of the “private hymnbook” (185). A title such as Hymns for Mothers and Children traveled from one family to another because of its large size and many illustrations. Today, we would probably call this a coffee table book. Phillips points out that his chapters may be read separately or chronologically to give a sense of history. Some interesting aspects of this book include the etchings in the prologue, courtesy of the American Antiquarian Society, which illustrate family Bible reading and hymnbook singing in the 19th Century.

Sami could feel the cold tinge of the breeze upon her exposed ears and she instinctively scrunched her shoulders up in a futile attempt to provide her ears some cover. With her hands shoved deep into her pockets for the bit of warmth each found, she stared inquisitively at the images in the window before her.
