The Book of Chants by Arthur Foote is a collection of choral music that includes 20 pieces arranged for four-part mixed voices. The book features a variety of hymns, anthems, and other choral works that are suitable for use in religious services and concerts. The pieces are arranged in a simple, straightforward way that makes them accessible to choirs of all levels, from beginner to advanced. The book includes a preface by the author that provides background information on the pieces and their composers, as well as suggestions for performance. The Book of Chants is an excellent resource for choirs looking to expand their repertoire with beautiful and inspiring choral music.1893. Many of the chants in this collection have been transposed to a lower key; and the traditional endings of some, by which the alto or tenor of the last line have been altered so that those voices have two half-notes instead of a dotted half followed by a quarter. In pointing the words, the intention has been to preserve the sense, and to make the accent, and the stress laid upon certain syllables, come as in reading aloud.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
