Very complete for the money
Practically exhaustive list of almost a thousand hymns with full music notation and lyrics. Excellent however one complaint is that although there are hymn numbers, there are no page numbers and some hymns span two or more pages.Paper is also quite thin and probably not difficult to rip by mistake.

A comprehensive resource
This is not the larger organ version that I expected but the smaller Choral edition. I have knocked one star pf it's rating for two reasons. The first is the quality of the paper which is very thin and the binding I have seen repaired on numerous copies of the book. Some of the reworkings of the words are clumsy and just done to be inclusive, ruining the original poetry of the hymn. However, this is a valuable resource and one of the most comprehensive hymnals on the market. I pair this with the most recent Ancient and Modern and this covers most of my needs.

Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New
I bought this hymnal as it's the standard one in use in my parish. I am currently training for Licensed Lay Ministry and found myself at a disadvantage with other students who all seemed to have their own particular versions of a hymn book. And as I am now at the stage of planning services of the word, it's important to have to hand the appropriate hymn book in use in our context to be able to insert hymn numbers into service sheets.As a book in comparison to other versions that I have access too - it's modern and has most hymns that we use. But there are some omissions that occasionally cause loose leaf hymn sheets to be used. Overall a good buy

Received ysterday by mail. A good collection of hymns and other songs of the Church of England. Some of them is also regularly used into the Roman Catholic Church. Many Thanks!

An opportunity missed
PROS:For £24.99 it is good value for money with plenty of resource material.The indeces are quite comprehensive.CONS:Wafer thin pages, I would happily pay a little more for this to be printed on slightly more substantial paper.Needless musical editing - 'if it ain't broke - don't fix it'. Some perfectly good established harmonies and arrangements have been replaced with ones by the Mayhew team, some of which are a little bizarre to say the least.Sadly the usual PC tinkering of words and gender neutralisation.Sadly the usual downward transposition of well-known hymns in keys that were perfectly accesible and singable.A great shame the hymnal is alphabetically ordered rather than liturgically and thematically, this makes for heavy going when selecting material to use Sunday by Sunday.The 'opportunity missed' is that this resource does not stand on its own. You need your old hymnals to:- source standard hymn tunes in established keys that don't have Altos and Basses grovelling inaudibly- reference the proper and familiar words- play harmonisations and arrangements that have not be 'Mayhewed'

Perfect.
This is the hymnbook we use in our church and I wanted my own copy to help me learn new hymns. It does just that!
