Preface (page 1) by Sacred Harp Publishing Company, Inc.; "Music" essay (page 3), "Introduction and History of The Original Sacred Harp" by Sacred Harp Publishing Company, Inc. on pages 5-11, pages 12-25 feature "Rudiments of Music" essay by Paine Denson divided into eight very brief chapters and glossary; musical scores and lyrics on pages 26-573; unpaged leaves at rear feature "Index of First Lines" and "Index Original Sacred Harp." Fa-so-la or shape-note singing, a method of vocal instruction for choruses unaccompanied by instrumentation, arose from the Protestant Singing School movement during the early 1800s in New England but only became popular in the rural churches of Southern Appalachia where the tradition continues today in northern counties of Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. Although not the earliest among the hundred or so shape-note tune books published since the mid-19th century, THE SACRED HARP, compiled by Benjamin Franklin White (1800-1879) and Elisha J. King (ca. 1821-1844) and first published in 1844, is undoubtedly the most influential hymnal in the movement. As preferences of shape note choral groups evolved and diverged during the late 1800s and early 1900s, White's and King's original compilation was amended and altered with some frequency including the derivative ORIGINAL SACRED HARP published in Atlanta, Georgia in August 1911 by reviser Joseph S. James and his music editor Seaborn McDaniel Denson. In turn, the James hymnal led to the first Denson Revision collaborated upon by Thomas Jackson Denson and Paine Denson which was issued in 1936 with, per OCLC, four successive editions for 1960, 1967, 1971, and 1997.
