Glory and Praise music was much of what we played back in the 80s...VERY liturgical and musical...we had guitars and other instruments, but our purpose wasnt to be a rock group...just provide good music. I loved a lot of the Glory and Praise music.
But I don't know that I have a representative sample (having never had that hymnal in my hands), and I am also a musical reactionary . . . at least as far as sacred music is concerned.
