THE SACRED HARP ONLINE INDEX [new 5/96]
http://medinfo.labmed.umn.edu/Docs/.www/Index/0Index.html
Part of a larger information resource, The Fasola Home Page. The Sacred Harp (1844) is a 150-year-old tunebook of historic American hymns, odes, and anthems. The songs in The Sacred Harp are a cappella, 3- and 4-part polyphonic pieces written using shape note notation. The term Shape Note music is often used to refer to this style. Many of the songs within its pages were written by the great colonial American tunesmiths, including William Billings and Daniel Read. Others songs date from the mid-1800's -- a period in which four-part shape note music was predominant at camp-meetings and revivals in the South and Southeast. Composers such as E. J. King, J. P. Reese, William Walker, and B. F. White typify the style of this time period. At this site you will find the words to many hymns and songs. "Grace! 'Tis a charming sound, Harmonious to the ear; Heav'n with the echo shall resound, And all the earth shall hear. Grace first contrived the way To save rebellious man; And all the steps that grace display, Which drew the wondrous plan. Grace taught my wand'ring feet To tread the heav'nly road; And new supplies each hour I meet, While pressing on to God. Grace all the work shall crown Through everlasting days; It lays in heav'n the topmost stone, And well deserves our praise." (Ninety-Third Psalm 31t, tune: Lucius Chopin, 1832; lyrics: Philip Doddridge, 1755).
