Description

Between 1895 and 1899, the Clarendon Press published Bridges’s masterly Yattendon Hymnal, a collection of 100 ancient Latin, German, and English hymns with tunes for unaccompanied singing. Forty-three of the hymns are reproduced in this Daniel Press edition but without the accompanying music. Bridges, a committed Anglican, had a lifelong passion for early church music.
