This was achieved without renumbering hymns or extending the book excessively. Instead many formerly duplicated tunes were changed to new tunes. Where unique tunes were changed the old tunes were moved into an appendix, which is often referred to as "the chamber of horrors", [13] [14] [15] a description attributed to Vaughan-Williams himself.

The collection will be introduced not only by the Editors’ preface, but also an essay by the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, president of the Hymn Society of Great Britain and Ireland. Several helpful indexes will be included: first lines, tunes by name and by metre, authors and composers, a scriptural index, and suggested hymns for the two most commonly-used lectionaries, as well as ideas and suggestions to help those whose responsibility it is to choose hymns for the services of the Church. A few hymns (eg, It came upon the midnight clear) are now in different sections from some earlier collections.

The preface to the hymnal describes itself as "a collection of the best hymns in the English language." [2] Much of the contents was used for the first time at St Mary's, Primrose Hill, in north London, [ citation needed] and the hymnbook could be considered a musical companion to The Parson's Handbook, Dearmer's 1899 manifesto on English church ceremonial, vestments and furnishings. [3] [4] The book is a characteristic green colour and is sometimes associated with the high-church or Anglo-Catholic movement within Anglicanism. [11] When the book was published, high and broad churches used Hymns Ancient and Modern and evangelical churches normally used the Hymnal Companion to the Book of Common Prayer. The hymnal has, however, been adopted not only in various movements of Anglicanism but also in several other denominations in Britain, such as some Roman Catholic churches.

In the finished volume, a new appendix will provide cross references across the whole collection to hymns that are suitable for use on occasions or in ways outside the structured sections of the book. A supplement, New English Praise, [3] was published in 2006 containing additional liturgical material, canticle settings, psalm settings and plainchant accompaniments. The high quality of the music is due largely to the work of Vaughan Williams as musical editor. The standard of the arrangements and original compositions made it a landmark in English hymnody [5] and one of the most influential hymnals of the 20th century. [6] The hymnal included the first printing of several arrangements and hymn settings by Vaughan Williams. Among the most famous are Sine Nomine, a new tune to For All the Saints; [7] [8] and Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones, a new text for the hymn tune Lasst uns erfreuen. The hymnal also includes many plainsong melodies (in both plainsong and modernised notation). Howse, Christopher (25 November 2006). "Sacred Mysteries". The Telegraph. London .
