A Selection of Shape-Note Folk Hymns From Southern United States Tune Books, 1816-61
2007
Overview
First and foremost, Music states that \"a 'southern' tune book is considered to be one compiled by a resident of one of the states that later formed the Confederate States of America, plus the border states of Kentucky and Missouri\" (xiii). [...]Music does not appear to differentiate between music composed in the South and music that is identified as \"Southern.\" Later scholars perpetuated this ideology largely because of the unbroken tradition of performance of this music from tunebooks such as The Sacred Harp by B. F. White and E. J. King (1844) and The Southern Harmony, despite the fact that books employing the seven-shape system using the Italian solfège (i.e., do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti) also appear in unbroken tradition.
