EDWARD HODGES came to America in 1838, steeped in the English traditions and church music. The book traces Hodges' introduction of this tradition in New York City at Trinity Church, Wall Street, affecting most denominations ever since. Hodges' consultations on organs in England are detailed, as is his work with Henry Erben to build in 1845 America's largest organ. 254 pp., hardbound, illustrated, stoplists.
