Stories of Latter Day Saint Hymns: Their Authors and Composers is a book written by George D. Pyper that explores the stories behind the creation of hymns used in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The book delves into the lives of the hymn writers and composers, providing insight into their backgrounds, inspirations, and motivations. Pyper examines the history and significance of each hymn, offering a unique perspective on the role of music in the Mormon faith. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of hymnody or the religious practices of the Latter-day Saint community.1939. With illustrations. The author's purpose is to tell the stories of some of the hymns of the Church and relate the circumstances as far as known, surrounding their origin. The stories are not written from the standpoint of a learned musician. No scientific analysis of music or song is undertaken, but rather they are the product of one who loves to sing the songs of Zion and desires to understand and assist others in understanding their origin and message. Pyper provides background information on both the song and the composers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
