Catalyst: "The Oxford Easy Anthem Book: A Collection of Fifty Anthems" from Oxford University Press, by the Committee on Public Worship and Aids to Devotion of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, 186 pages, paperback, $14.95
[Source: Oxford University Press] -- The need has long been felt in English-speaking countries for a book of easy anthems which might appeal to choirs who find some of the music in the Church Anthem Book beyond their powers. Accordingly, the present volume consisting of fifty easy anthems has been compiled in conjunction with the Committee on Public Worship and Aids to Devotion of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.
