Intended for use with my offertory paraphrase collection, these eight 8.6.8.6 SATB hymn tunes also may be useful for singing other common-meter hymn texts and metrical psalms.

Each mode is represented, with four rhythm patterns commonly encountered in this meter:

• Rhythm A, cf. Dundee (Ravenscroft)
  
• Rhythm B, cf. St. Flavian
  
• Rhythm C, cf. Azmon
  
• Rhythm D, cf. Land of Rest (American)
