Routley: Our Lives be Praise

by Erik Routley

Description The hymn tunes, carols and texts of Erik Routley. This anthology brings together 115 tunes and 33 literary texts. After a distinguished ministry in Great Britain, he spent ten years on the staff of Princeton University in the USA. Dr Carlton Young in an editor's introduction "Both fledgling and noted composers of hymn tunes will benefit from a study of Routley's work, particularly his approach to solving the problems of setting a text's ‘general mood' and providing new tunes for familiar texts, as well as unfamiliar poems sometimes written in odd metres."
