Macdonald Brothers

The Macdonald Brothers, James and Ronald, were Scottish musicians and composers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They are best known for their contributions to hymnody and sacred music, creating numerous hymns, tunes, and musical arrangements used in churches and religious contexts. Their work often combines traditional melodies with a distinctive, accessible style that has allowed their compositions to remain popular in Christian worship. Their influence is seen in church hymnals and musical traditions, making them notable figures in the history of religious music in the UK.
