Musical Style: Lined-Out Hymnody

Musical Style: Lined-Out Hymnody

Works known to have been performed via "lining out," in which a leader reads or sings one line of a metrical text and congregation replies by singing the same line. Titles have been selected for collection based on the twenty-first-century performance practice associated with them. As a reflection of practices between 1850–1925, this collection is therefore likely significantly incomplete.
