description: This volume attempts an introduction to 20th century hymnody in the US with an overview of the issues of concern to the hymnists. Its core, however, is interviews (or previous publications for deceased hymnists) with selected Carl P. Daw, Jr.; Timothy Dudley-Smith; Sylvia Dunstan; Martin Franzmann; Fred Pratt Green; Fred Kaan; Erik Routley; Thomas H. Troeger; Jaroslav J. Vajda; and Brian A. Wren. The emphasis is, obviously, mainline Protestant but with sufficient diversity to provide a reasonable overview. The bibliographic information provided is excellent, providing the necessary information to follow up on authors who catch your imagination.
