| Summary | "Hymni ecclesiae" by John Henry Newman is a collection of ecclesiastical hymns, composed in the mid-19th century. This work serves as a reflection on the nature of hymnody within the Church, emphasizing the significance and challenges of composing hymns that adequately praise and address God while recognizing their rootedness in scripture and tradition. The opening of this text delves into the theological and artistic considerations of hymn writing, contrasting the spontaneously inspired Psalms and Canticles with the more structured and perhaps challenging nature of hymns. Newman discusses the historical context of hymns used in the Church, highlighting a desire for a return to a purer, more authentic expression of worship that honors both ancient traditions and the liturgical calendar. He emphasizes the importance of intentionality in both the content and style of hymns, preparing the reader for his selection of hymns that reflect these spiritual and doctrinal nuances.
