This is an ever expanding list of my most favorite hymn tunes (and chant melodies). Hymns are very dear to my heart and I am insistent upon maintaining their relevancy in worship. Some of these move me as much as works of greater magnitude (like a Beethoven symphony). These are, however, in alphabetical order, not order of preference.
- Abbot’s Leigh – Cyril V. Taylor
- Beach Spring – attributed to B.F. White
- Diademata – George J. Elvey
- Es Ist Ein Ros – Michael Praetorius
- Lasst Uns Erfreuen – from Gestliche Kirchengesaenge
- McKee – spiritual adapted by Harry T. Burleigh
- Picardy – French Carol
- Salve Festa Dies – Ralph Vaughan Williams
- Ubi Caritas – chant melody
- Union Seminary – Harold Friedell
- Wondrous Love – American Folk Tune
