Hymnintreutz

Book •
Hymnintreutz is a resource designed to set antiphons and psalms in a metrical form, using familiar hymn tunes to make them more accessible.

This approach allows congregations to sing liturgical texts with well-known melodies such as Old 100th or Duke Street.

The collection includes doxologies and aims to integrate traditional liturgical texts into congregational singing.

While the concept was intended to bridge the gap between traditional chant and contemporary hymnody, it did not gain widespread popularity.

Despite its innovative approach, Hymnintreutz faced challenges in appealing to both traditionalists and those preferring modern hymns, limiting its adoption in parishes.
