To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All united, from a common level of devotion — ^prince, priest and people. There was no unnecessary personal intervention : each soul bore its humble, individual part in the common worship : and, moreover, with the greatest reverence and earnestness — a feature so unusual in our churches at home, and yet so common abroad ! A very observable thing, also, was the utter unconsciousness of each worshipper — ^both of the observation of others and of any possible effect produced by his music. I do not... claim for this example of congregational sing- ing, that it could be copied in every particular, or that it were desirable so to do : many of the circumstances men- tioned were incidental : but the unanimous participation in the service, and the withdrawal of all unnecessary per- sonality, were parts, of a well-considered system. It is evident that in our present Church Music we greatly lack purity of style. We should clearly distin- guish between the different forms of church song, and the OUR CHURCH MUSIC.
