The Christian Harmony
The Christian Harmony is a shape note hymn and tune book compiled by William Walker. The book was released in 1866 (1867 according to some sources). It is part of the larger tradition of shape note singing.
==Origin==
William Walker was born in 1809 in South Carolina, and grew up near Spartanburg. He became a Baptist song leader and shape note "singing master." Walker and Benjamin Franklin White, publisher of ''The Sacred Harp'', married sisters. In 1835, Walker published a tunebook entitled ''The Southern Harmony'' in four-shape (fasola) notation. He incorporated over half of the contents of this ''Southern Harmony'' into his ''Christian Harmony'' in 1866. For ''The Christian Harmony'', Walker changed from the four-shape system to the seven-shape (doremi) system. Retaining the original four shapes of the Southern Harmony, he devised three other shapes of his own. In defending his change from the four-shape system which he had previously championed, Walker explained that parents wouldn't name seven children with only four names. A second edition was released in 1873. William Walker died on September 24, 1875.
