Tune source

The tune source of a hymn is the major work, hymnal, or tradition (e.g. "African-American Spiritual", "French carol") of the hymn's tune, if the tune is taken from one.

Guidelines

• Cite the work as it is listed in the hymnal.
• Use italics if the hymnal uses them.
• Include the date the work was published, if given. Do not put the date of publication in the tune date field because the publication date does not reflect when the tune was composed.
• If there is an "alt." but no tune date, only a publication date for a book, add the "alt." after the publication date.
• Enter the source first followed by "st. #", "from", "based on", etc.
