Kingsbury Hymns of Praise: rising lines: PDF essay link, abstract, keywords

Title: Kingsbury Hymns of Praise: rising lines

Link: Hymns of Praise

Abstract: Pieces with rising cadence gestures in Hymns of Praise: For the Church and Sunday School. Compiled by F. G. Kingsbury. Chicago: Hope Publishing Co., c1922. A hymn book from my father's collection. Because of their largely 19th c origins, it seemed reasonable to think that hymns in the evangelistic tradition would be more likely than older tunes to have rising cadence gestures.
