Beschreibung

The achievement of John and Charles Wesley in establishing the foundations of Methodist music has been largely unexplored – until now. Carlton R Young, one of the leading scholars in the field, explains the theological background to the vast hymnic repertoire the brothers created, and the history behind such classic 18th century tune books as the Foundery Collection of 1742 and Sacred Harmony of 1780.
