The Chorale Book for England

About this book

Catherine Winkworth's Chorale Book for England, published in 1863. Prepared with musical collaborators, it brought the great German chorales — their tunes as well as their words — into English use, in Winkworth's own translations. The book marks the moment when the Lutheran chorale tradition began to take a lasting place in English hymn singing.
