ISBN 978-1-85311-662-9.The high quality of the music is due largely to the work of Vaughan Williams as musical editor. The standard of the arrangements and original compositions made it a landmark in English hymnody [5] and one of the most influential hymnals of the 20th century. [6] The hymnal included the first printing of several arrangements and hymn settings by Vaughan Williams. Among the most famous are Sine Nomine, a new tune to For All the Saints; [7] [8] and Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones, a new text for the hymn tune Lasst uns erfreuen. The hymnal also includes many plainsong melodies (in both plainsong and modernised notation). The book is a characteristic green colour and is sometimes associated with the high-church or Anglo-Catholic movement within Anglicanism. [11] When the book was published, high and broad churches used Hymns Ancient and Modern and evangelical churches normally used the Hymnal Companion to the Book of Common Prayer. The hymnal has, however, been adopted not only in various movements of Anglicanism but also in several other denominations in Britain, such as some Roman Catholic churches.

A new edition of The English Hymnal was issued in 1933, [12] which principally had better accompaniments by J. H. Arnold to the plainsong melodies, and over 100 new tunes. This was achieved without renumbering hymns or extending the book excessively. Instead many formerly duplicated tunes were changed to new tunes. Where unique tunes were changed the old tunes were moved into an appendix, which is often referred to as "the chamber of horrors", [13] [14] [15] a description attributed to Vaughan-Williams himself.

Only the Kyries, Gloria, (Creed in traditional language settings), Sanctus & Benedictus and Agnus Dei) will be printed. Musical notation will be provided in all editions (including melodies in the ‘words only’ edition). The parts within a setting will be numbered for easy reference, for example, as 677a, 677b, 677c, 677d, 677e.

The New English Hymnal is a hymn book and liturgical source aimed towards the Church of England. First published in 1986, it is a successor to, and published in the same style as, the 1906 English Hymnal. [1] It is published today by SCM Canterbury Press, an imprint of Hymns Ancient and Modern Ltd. LAUNCH EVENT: Wednesday 29th November 2023: at 6pm - see 'what is being published' section for full details. The New English Hymnal inherits much music from the original 1906 English Hymnal, its 1933 revision, and the 1975 supplement English Praise, although a few hymns are re-written or dropped in favor of newly added hymns. [2] The words of several hymns have been altered slightly, although it nonetheless enjoys continuing favour in a considerable number of cathedrals and collegiate chapels worldwide and it is a significant publication in Anglican church music. Its extensive provision of hymns for saints' days and mid-week religious festivals has proved popular with those schools still maintaining hymn-singing in daily acts of worship. The Revised English Hymnal is a completely new and updated edition of the English Hymnal. Like its predecessors, it aims to be 'a humble companion' to the Common Prayer of the Church, not only in England, but everywhere the English Hymnal tradition is loved and valued around the world; not only on Sundays and feasts but for every day of the year.After its publication, use of the hymnal had been banned for a time by the Archbishop of Canterbury. [2] Ultimately, The English Hymnal, along with the Church Hymnal for the Christian Year, "undermined the uniformity of the Church of England and successfully challenged [the] hegemony" of Hymns Ancient and Modern, [9] which had been published two years previous. [10] A supplement, New English Praise, [3] was published in 2006 containing additional liturgical material, canticle settings, psalm settings and plainchant accompaniments. Kilcrease, Bethany (2017).
