Abstract	"This important collection, printed in the famous 'shape-note' notation so popular in the singing-school tradition of the 19th century, contains folk hymns, fuging tunes, psalm tunes, and anthems by America's leading sacred music composers of the time--Billings, Holden, Holyoke, Kimball, et al. Part Second played a significant role in American religious history. The original 1813 Harrisburg publication was specifically intended for the Methodist and Baptist revival meetings then prevalent in the North and which soon swept other sections of the country (similar to those described by Sinclair Lewis in Elmer Gantry). Indeed, many Southern folk hymns are identical to ones which appeared here first. The practice of singing old folk hymns also spread throughout the Midwest and West and is a tradition still to be found in some areas today. Forty-four folk hymns and nine other tunes appeared for the first time in this collection of 149 tunes. They maintained considerable popularity throughout the 19th century, and 26 of them can today be found in such prominent anthologies of the past few decades as those of George Pullen Jackson. Many American scholars believe that folk hymnody is the most valuable musical heritage handed down to us from early American times. Its historical significance aside, however, much genuine merit and melodic charm can be found in this body of music. The volume will thus be of great interest not only to the average musician, but particularly to the student of teacher of the history, religious life, and music of America, as well as to the religious groups who still maintain the singing tradition."--Dust jacket.
