| C | Many have misunderstood HC's use of the "hymn and fuguing tune" form, some even assuming that he actually used melodies from the Billings period. This is his statement in the published score of No. 1: [This work] is written in a manner which is frankly influenced by the early American style of Billings and of Walker. However, the early style is not exactly imitated, nor are any of the tunes and melodies taken from these early masters. Rather, I asked myself the question, What would have happened in America if this fine, serious early style had developed? [This work] which uses old modes [and] open chords ... is a modern version of this old style. | |
