What reading level is The Music of the Pilgrims : a Description of the Psalm-Book Brought to Plymouth in 1620 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One reason was that Ainsworth was the book of Plymouth rather than of Boston. Its prestige was quite overshadowed by that of the Puritan 'Bay Psalm-Book' and the tunes from the English Sternhold and Hopkins that were associated with the latter.
Just as in Great Britain the Scottish Sternhold and Hopkins, which was musically superior to the English version, was driven into the background by the latter's popularity, so in New England the vogue of the 'Bay Psalm-Book' was fatal to all rivals.
21 A...nother reason, more essential and practically potent, was the fact that Ainsworth represented a freer use of verse-forms than either Sternhold and Hopkins or the 'Bay Psalm-Book.' A large section of its tunes, there- fore, did not fit the meters of the latter books. The 17th century, we recall, was the time when 'Common Meter' became regnant — in some quarters exclusive.
The 'Bay Psalm-Book' used only six meters, and cm.
was put forward in four out of every five cases. At least fifteen of the Ainsworth tunes were thereby ruled out altogether, among them some of the best.
