An excerpt from the prefaces reads: "

"Recent years have seen in Church music a widespread revival of methods and material from the past - in some cases from a remote past...Happily, one of the most popular and simplest revivals, "Descant," is of a type that can be undertaken successfully in any church where a few capable trebles are available."
