The Hymnwriters Our Unknown Friends is a valuable collection of biographical information about the writers of our best-loved hymns and the unique stories that inspired them. Many familiar writers such as Charles Wesley, Fanny Crosby, John Greenleaf Whittier, and Isaac Watts are featured. More importantly perhaps are the writers whose names are less familiar -- but whose hymns have become the favorites of many generations of worshiping people. This book will interest the professional musician as it discusses the writers' musical treatments. Over fifty hymnwriters are featured spanning hundreds of years of hymnody. The author has also included a suggested itinerary for a tour of England for any individual desiring to see the locations where many of the hymnwriters lived.
