Excerpt from The Hallelujah: A Book for the Service of Song in the House of the Lord; Containing Tunes, Chants, and Anthems, Both for the Choir and the Congregation; To Which Is Prefixed the Singing School It can hardly be necessary to say that the movement of a tune is not affected by the variety of measure in which it is represented. Thus, for example, the tune Dundee, p. 175, is written in half notes, and the tune Martyrs, same page, is written in quarter notes, yet both are to be sung in the same time, unless perhaps Martyrs may be a little the slower of the two, on account of the character of the poetry.
