Description
This is a musical devotional with a song for each day of the month. Many are hymntunes, but a few are art songs for voice and piano. They range from easy to moderately difficult. Though she later composed music for this, the author's sub-title for the original book of 31 poems was "Daily Melodies for the King's Minstrels." Not only so rich for individuals to sing alone unto the Lord, these are also scores for families and for church choirs.
Frances Ridley Havergal (1836-1879) was a wonderfully gifted musician. Several who knew her or heard her -- very distinguished music professors, performers, and others -- left strong, clear accounts showing that her musical gifts were special, rare, very fine, as a pianist, a singer, and a composer.
These scores are true music, and (using F.R.H.'s words) these are meant to draw both singers and hearers to "the One name which is sweeter than any music."
