Zusatztext Rebecca uses well-considered harmonies in these settings, running a well-placed path between uncomfortable or jarring dissonance on the one hand and saccharine blandness on the other . . . In summary, this is an interesting and varied collection. The content and style should make it a very useful resource for organists in venues where more traditional hymnody is still in use, especially for Offertoiries or where short introductory voluntaries are needed.
