John Rippon. John Rippon (29 April 1751 – 17 December 1836) was an English Baptist minister. In 1787 he published an important hymnal, A Selection of Hymns from the Best Authors, Intended to Be an Appendix to Dr. Watts’ Psalms and Hymns, commonly known as Rippon's Selection, which was very successful, and was reprinted 27 times in over 200,000 copies.
Several international hymns were also selected, including Spanish, Asian and American Indian hymns, as well as Black spirituals. [3] Duke Ellington's "Come Sunday" was also included.

The singing of hymns is a common feature of Anglican worship and usually includes congregational singing as well as a choir. An Introit hymn is sung at the start of a service, a Gradual hymn precedes the Gospel, an Offertory hymn is sung during the Offertory and a recessional hymn at the close of a service.
The notable feature of this hymnbook is the attempt to restore the authentic tunes to hymns that had changed over time and varied with location. The hymnbook states that the music proper to the Catholic Church is Gregorian Chant, so there is a selection of about a dozen Latin hymns at the end of the book, along with organ accompaniments.
