Olney Hymns

[W]

Olney Hymns (ed. John Newton), 1779

A collection of hymns by John Newton and William Cowper, containing most of the hymns by the two authors which are still in common use. John Newton edited the collection, and was careful to mark with a `C' the hymns by "his friend".

There are three Sections:

Book I. On Select Texts of SCRIPTURE.

Book II. On Occasional SUBJECTS.

Book III. On the Progress and Changes of the SPIRITUAL LIFE.

The first of these is arranged in `biblical' order, with separate sub- sections for each book of the Bible represented.

The collection is the main source for all the extant hymns of both writers; though some of them had appeared previously in other Collections or Periodicals.

John Newton's Preface is dated Olney, Bucks, Feb.15, 1779.

Oxford Book of Carols

The Oxford Book of Carols, Oxford University Press, 1928

Edited by Percy Dearmer, R.Vaughan Williams and Martin Shaw. It contained 197 carols, arranged in groups according to period and type, and seven additional folk tunes `proper' to certain carols which had been set elsewhere to different tunes or versions. The arrangement was

Part I Traditional carols with their `proper' tunes;

Part II Traditional carol tunes set to other traditional or old texts;

Part III Traditional carol tunes set to `non-traditional' words;

Part IV Tunes by modern composers set to older words;

Part V Entirely modern carols.

A long Preface by Percy Dearmer discusses the history of the Carol, as well as the approach of the editors to their task.

In 1964 the book was re-issued (as the Twenty-fifth Inpression Re-engraved and Reset), with some additional foot-notes and with the original words of most of the non-English carols, as well as English translations of carols which in the earlier editions appeared only in a vernacular. Some additions to or revisions of the music were also added.

[The New Oxford Book of Carols published in 1992 is an entirely fresh compilation.]
