Sing the liturgy as it was sung. Music for worship, born anew. Charles Vincent's The Hymnal Companion to the Book of Common Prayer with Accompanying Tunes is a practical and reverent Anglican hymn collection that pairs metrical texts with clear, singable melodies. Designed for parish use, this church music anthology gathers sacred choral tunes and traditional hymns for worship, arranged to support both congregational singing and choir-led services. Pairing hymn texts with their accompanying tunes, the volume emphasises singable lines, clear metre and practical keys, features that make it accessible to untrained voices while remaining useful to choirs and church organists. It serves as a compact liturgical music resource and a straightforward congregational singing guide, helping clergy and worship leaders locate common prayer songs for morning, evening and sacramental use. Concise and musically faithful, the companion balances devotional warmth with the practical needs of performance and rehearsal. As a Victorian era hymnal and an artifact of 19th century church music, this volume illuminates English religious music at the point where pew and choir meet: it preserves period harmonisation and the melodic leanings that shaped Anglican worship. Casual readers will relish the plainspoken hymnody and historical flavour; musicians and collectors will prize it as a valuable book of common prayer companion and an authentic glimpse into ecclesiastical culture. Researchers, church organists seeking repertoire and anyone curious about the evolution of sacred choral tunes will find both reference value and quiet pleasure here. With tune settings that reflect nineteenth-century editorial practice, it offers a compact resource for hymnologists and performers alike. Whether consulted for service planning, choral rehearsal or quiet study, the companion rewards repeat reading and repeated singing. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
