Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 3rd Revised. 3rd edition. No jacket as issued, minor shelf wear, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. This music comes from the marvelously vital community singing tradition which flourished throughout rural new England in the decades following the American Revolution. This is America's greatest choral music, featuring haunting melodies, stark, open harmonies, rhythmic counterpoint, and the fierce rhymed poetry of Isaac Watts. When the popularity of this music began to fade in New England at the beginning of the 19th century it was kept alive in the developing "shape-note" singing tradition which swept across the Southern states and which lives on there still.
