New Harp of Columbia
The ''New Harp of Columbia'' is a seven-shape shape note tune book first published in 1867 in Knoxville, Tennessee by Marcus Lafayette Swan. A successor to ''The Harp of Columbia'' published by Swan and his father, W.H. Swan, in 1848,〔''An Encyclopedia of East Tennessee'' (Oak Ridge, Tenn.: Children's Museum of Oak Ridge, 1981), pp. 366-367.〕 ''The New Harp'' includes a mixture of hymn tunes, folk hymns, fuguing pieces, and anthems, along with several of Swan's original compositions.〔Dorothy Horn, "The New Harp of Columbia and Its Music in the Singing-School Tradition," Introduction to the 1978 reprinting of ''The New Harp of Columbia'' (Knoxville, Tenn.: University of Tennessee Press, 1978), pp. vii-xvii.〕 The book maintains popularity in East Tennessee,〔 with about 20 singings in 2004.
==Publication background==

Marcus Lafayette Swan was born in Knoxville in 1827, the son of prominent lawyer William H. Swan, Jr. (1798–1859).〔Ron Petersen and Candra Phillips, "East Tennessee Harp Singing," Introduction to the 1978 reprinting of the ''The New Harp of Columbia'' (Knoxville, Tenn.: University of Tennessee Press, 1978), pp. xviii-xxx.〕〔Elizabeth Dunham, (Finding Aid for the Hannah W. Swan Grant of Pardon and Amnesty, 1865 October 27 ), University of Tennessee Special Collections Library, 22 February 2007. Retrieved: 12 December 2011.〕 In 1847, his father married Hannah Wells Crozier, who hailed from a prominent family of Knoxville politicians and businesspeople.〔〔 The Croziers' business enterprises included a printing company, Crozier & Barton, which had published hymn books as early as 1825, and thus may have inspired the Swans to publish their own collection of songs.〔 ''The Harp of Columbia'', published by the Swans as a singing school manual in 1848, was moderately successful, and was reprinted several times during the 1850s.〔
During the Civil War, Marcus Swan supported the Confederacy, and fled to Bellefonte, Alabama, when the Union Army occupied Knoxville.〔 While living in Bellefonte, he wrote the introduction to ''The New Harp of Columbia'', which was published in Knoxville in 1867.〔 By the time of his death, Swan had amassed a relatively large fortune.〔
''The New Harp of Columbia'' has been reprinted numerous times since its initial publication. Musicologist Dorothy Horn suggests the success of ''The New Harp'' is due to its excellent printing and its larger than normal sample of standard tunes favored by various Protestant denominations.〔
