The variety of metres is very great, and but few Hymns are contained in the Hymn Books of the different christian worshippers, for which a tune may not be found in this collection; It will be found to contain a great variety of Psalm and Hymn tunes; also a collection of interesting Anthems, Set Pieces, Sacred Songs, Sentences and Chants, which are short, easy of performance without instrumental aid, and appropriate to the various occasions of public worship, the wanta of singing schools, musical societies, and pleasing and useful to singers for their own private practice and improvement. MASONS' various collections have all been preeminently popular and useful in the estimation of men of science and taste, both in Europe and America. The Sacred Harp is the authors' last production, and it is not excelled by any other collection. Teachers of singing, clergymen and others who are desirous of promoting Sacred Music, can employ no means so effectual as the circulation of this valuable work.

In addition to a great vaiiety of Psalm and Hymn Tunes, suited to the wants of Singing Schools and Christian Worshippers of every denomination, it furnishes a greater number of Anthems, Set Pieces, Sentences, Solos, Duetts, Sacred Sungs, &c., than any other similar work ; also a selection of Chants for the Episcopal church. The Sacred Harp needs no recommendation, it will recommend ilailf. PATEAT AOTE EDITION. The proprieturs of ' Masons' Sacred Harp' have (contrary to the express wishes and views of the authors) prepared and stereotyped an edition of the Harp of 232 pages, in PATENT NOTES, under the belief that it would be more acceptable to singers in the west and south, where Patent Notes are generally used.

Root, Professor, Department of Music ii Copyright © by Joanna Ruth Smolko 2009 iii RESHAPING AMERICAN MUSIC: THE QUOTATION OF SHAPE-NOTE HYMNS BY TWENTIETH-CENTURY COMPOSERS Joanna Ruth Smolko, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2009 Throughout the twentieth century, American composers have quoted nineteenth-century shape- note hymns in their concert works, including instrumental and vocal works and film scores. When referenced in other works the hymns become lenses into the shifting web of American musical and national identity. This study reveals these complex interactions using cultural and musical analyses of six compositions from the 1930s to the present as case studies. The works presented are Virgil Thomson’s film score to The River (1937), Aaron Copland’s arrangement of “Zion’s Walls” (1952), Samuel Jones’s symphonic poem Let Us Now Praise Famous Men (1974), Alice Parker’s opera Singers Glen (1978), William Duckworth’s choral work Southern Harmony and Musical Companion (1980-81), and the score compiled by T Bone Burnett for the film Cold Mountain (2003).

    Introduction to: Randi Trzesinski and Richard Kitson, The Musical Gazette (1854-1855) Copyright © 2007 RIPM Consortium Ltd Répertoire international de la presse musicale (www.ripm.org) The Musical Gazette (1854-1855) The Musical Gazette [MGA] was published weekly on Saturdays in New York City by the Mason Brothers from 11 November 1854 until 5 May 1855, and comprised twenty-six weekly numbers, the first two containing sixteen pages each, the remainder eight pages each. The issues are numbered from 1 through 26 and the pages are numbered consecutively from 1 through 208. In 1851 Daniel Gregory Mason (1820-1869) and his brother Lowell Mason (1823-1885)—sons of music educator and composer Lowell Mason—united with Henry W. Law to create the Mason & Law publishing firm. Daniel Gregory and Lowell Mason, Junior established in 1853 their own firm, the Mason Brothers, publishers of secular and religious music, school textbooks, histories, English and French dictionaries and music periodicals.1 In 1854 they undertook publication of The Choral Advocate and Singing-Class Journal, and began two new musical periodicals in November of that year, The Musical Gazette (edited by Lowell Mason, Junior) and The Musical Review. After 5 May 1855 MGA was absorbed into another music journal published by the Mason Brothers, The New-York Musical Review and Choral Advocate which was then renamed The New-York Musical Review and Gazette.2 The Mason Brothers’ principal goal for MGA was publication of a journal “devoted to the higher departments of musical literature and criticism; … Musical news from all parts of the world, where music is cultivated, will be promptly and regularly given.”3 Each page of MGA is printed in a two-column format and issues are organized in three main parts.

  • Elias Henry Johnson and Anglican Chant in Baptist Hymnals
    ‘More Than Half a Fool’: Elias Henry Johnson and Anglican Chant in Baptist Hymnals Lance Peeler “As I have told you, if there is anything new to be done it is in this style of music.” So said Elias Henry Johnson, referring to what he called the “English choral style,” demonstrating his love for and knowledge of Anglican music. Fashionable in Anglican music of the time was Anglican chant, a form of chant in four-part homophony. The basic form of Anglican chant is binary, with each section beginning with a reciting tone and concluding with a cadential formula. The text is pointed to link it to the musical formula.1 Many Baptist hymnals of the nineteenth century included chant, especially those edited by Johnson. The only scholarly coverage of Anglican chant in Baptist hymnals is Paul Richardson’s article, “Sweet Chants that Led My Steps Abroad.” Richardson asks several questions in his conclusion, among them—using Richardson’s numbering—(1) What led Baptists to publish chants? (2) What were the sources, direct and indirect, of the texts and tunes? (3) How were particular items transmitted, adapted, and revised? (8) To what extent did this practice extend into the twentieth century?2 This paper will address these questions by briefly discussing the first Baptist hymnal to include chants, examining a chant book that influenced Johnson’s work in editing hymnals with chants, and highlighting how long these chants were retained in Baptist hymnals. 1 Paul A. Richardson, “Sweet Chants That Led My Steps Abroad: Anglican Chant in Nineteenth-Century American Baptist Hymnals,” in We'll Shout and Sing Hosanna: Essays on Church Music in Honor of William J.
