The author traces the origins of Hutterites' sacred songs from the time the earliest Anabaptists began writing them. These songs have been aurally/orally transmitted and sung in unison since that time. The primary song book of the Hutterites, Die Lieder der Hutterischen Brüder, contains words to songs, primarily by Hutterites, which were written to a variety of melodies. The melodies range from medieval liturgical chant, court songs, sacred and secular folk songs, to the hymns emanating from the various churches after the Reformation. Many of these melodies are being sung today only by the Hutterites. This study, begun in the 1960s, captures a tradition which is now being threatened by the fact that many Hutterites are beginning to sing four part music of the classical tradition and to play musical instruments, as well as furthering their education outside of the colonies. 650 0 Hutterian Brethren |zCanada |xMusic |xHistory and criticism. |=^A965812 650 0 Hutterian Brethren |xMusic |xHistory and criticism. |=^A965812 650 0 Hymns |xHistory and criticism. |=^A19554 830 0 Anabaptist and Mennonite studies. |=^A690382 994 X0 |bERE 596 3 998 911691
