Augsburg Fortress

Thomas Pavlechko’s music has been enriching assembly song for decades, and the forty hymns set to his tunes and collected here represent the latest chapter of his compositional endeavors. Each has been crafted with the assembly in mind, adding fresh and creative music to the worship life of the church. These tunes give voice to the poetry of Mary Louise Bringle, Susan Palo Cherwien, John Core, Ralph E. Freeman, John Thornburg, Brian Wren, and many others. Indexes by topic, scripture, lectionary day, and meter make this a useful volume for church musicians, pastors, and all who plan worship.
