Abstract Christopher Birkett’s Ingoma (1871) and Cyrill Wyche’s St Matthew’s Tune Book (1902), both collections of hymn tunes assembled in South Africa, have proven influential in contemporary Xhosa Anglican hymnody. This article provides the first detailed commentary on the contents of these tune books as well as an introduction to the context in which they were produced. The influence of John Curwen’s tonic sol-fa system in South Africa is also addressed. Brief biographies of the compilers of the collections are provided. Birkett composed new tunes or adapted existing Western tunes for his Ingoma, giving many of them Xhosa names, or dedicating them to significant figures in the local church music scene. The author analyses selected tunes from the collection and assesses Birkett’s compositional style. The contents of Wyche’s collection are also assessed, with particular reference to any locally composed material.

摘要 Christopher Birkett 的 Ingoma (1871) 和 Cyrill Wyche 的 St Matthew's Tune Book (1902) 都是在南非组装的赞美诗集，已证明对当代科萨圣公会赞美诗具有影响力。本文对这些曲调书籍的内容进行了第一次详细的评论，并介绍了它们的制作背景。John Curwen 的补品 sol-fa 系统在南非的影响也得到了解决。提供了馆藏编纂者的简要传记。Birkett 为他的 Ingoma 创作了新曲调或改编了现有的西方曲调，其中许多都以科萨人的名字命名，或者将它们献给当地教堂音乐界的重要人物。作者分析了精选曲调并评估了伯克特的作曲风格。
