Book excerpt: This essential guide for anyone who plans, performs, or takes part in liturgy is a complete updating and expansion of the author's earlier A Manual for Clergy and Church Musicians. It is completely referenced to The Hymnal 1982. All resource lists have been expanded and updated. Check lists for planning services have increased in number to reflect the services provided for in The Book of Occasional Services. Two new appendixes have been added: Appendix I; descants, fauxbourdons, varied harmonizations, varied accompaniments, suggested alternative treatments of hymns, and hymns scored for other instruments in The Hymnal 1982, and Appendix II; metrical index of tunes in The Hymnal 1982 with the first lines of the texts.
