Today, the
Heartland Ringers played at Southminster Presbyterian church at a Hymnody.
The more accurate description of the event is: A Festival Ceremony of Hymnody, sponsored by
the Kansas City Chapter of The American Guild of Organists. (The bell choir combined with the choir for
two pieces.) I can tell you that I do
not think that I have ever seen the word ‘hymnody’ let alone used it in a
written or spoken sentence. I can tell
you that ‘hymnody’ does not rhyme with ‘body’, as I have been pronouncing
it. Mr. Webster tells me the
pronunciation and definition is:
hym·no·dy
noun \ˈhim-nə-dē\
Definition
of HYMNODY
1:
hymn singing
2:
hymn writing
The first
song on the program was, When in Our Music,
God is Glorified, which just says it all for me.
