IKE MANY OF YOU, my musical training did not include memorizing “tune names” for hymns. Of course I know tons of hymns—but I must hear the melody to recognize them. In my experience, very few musicians can instantly call to mind ST MARTIN, WHITEHALL, or MELCOMBE. Therefore, I joined forces with several friends to compile the first ever “snippets index” for the Brébeuf hymnal, which shows the melodies next to the proper names. We had no idea the complete project would exceed 8,000 entries! Many churches have a choral Mass, but the other Sunday Masses usually have just a cantor and organist. Sometimes the organist must serve as cantor. The Brébeuf hymnal is designed for this, since the accompaniments write out each verse; but that doesn’t do much good without a guide to the melodies—which we release today!
If you need a hymn for Lent, press COMMAND+F (on a Mac) or CONTROL+F (on Windows) and type in the word “LENT.” Remember that Part 2 has the more familiar hymns, while Part 1 has the less familiar tunes. For this snippets index, we decided to place Part 2 before Part 1—similar to how Chopin’s 2nd Concerto was actually composed before his 1st Concerto.
Our snippets index omits tons of information which the Pew edition contains. It does not include suggestions for alternate tunes. It does not include biographical information about the composers. It does not include the theological footnotes. It does not include information about where the melodies came from. Nevertheless, we hope you will find this index useful.
