TIE ANTHEM HAEP.-Dy w. o. Per-
kins, musical director, for chorus or
quartet choirs. Published by o. Dit
son IL Co. The general prevalence Of
the custom of congregational singing,
led by the choir, has deprived the lat
ter of much of the variety which for
merly belonged to their part of public
worship. AT the same time it has, in
certain way, lighiened their labors,
which formerly consisted of the prepa-
ration of from three to five HYMN
tunes, besides the "opening piece" or
anthem. Practice may now be cxclu-
sively devoted to the latter, and new
anthems, frequently provided, become
a necessity.
Mr.. Perkins new Harp, like all
books of the kind, takes its words prin-
cipally from the Scriptures. Well
and old "Jerusalem, my gIo STcas
home," is provided with an entirely
new setting. For the variety of music
Mr.. Perkins depends largely on his
own taste in composition and compil-
ing; and as this taste is an exception
ally good one, there is no reason WHY
the Harp should not equal in popular
ity "Per kins' Anthem Book" publish.
ed some years ago, and which had
large sale.
