Southern Harmony
The ''Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion'' is a shape note hymn and tune book compiled by William Walker, first published in 1835. The book is notable for having originated or popularized several hymn tunes found in modern hymnals and shape note collections like the ''The Sacred Harp''.
== The music and its notation ==
The roots of ''Southern Harmony'' singing, like the Sacred Harp, are found in the American colonial era, when singing schools convened to provide instruction in choral singing, especially for use in church services. This practice remained popular with Baptists in the South long after it fell from use in other regions.
In 1801, a book called ''The Easy Instructor'' by William Smith and William Little was published for the use of this movement; its distinguishing feature was the use of four separate shapes that indicated the notes according to the rules of solfege. A triangle indicated ''fa'', a circle ''sol'', a square ''la'' and a diamond, ''mi.'' To avoid proliferating shapes excessively, each shape (and its associated syllable) except for ''mi'' was assigned to two notes of the musical scale. A major scale in the system would be noted ''Fa - Sol - La - Fa - Sol - La - Mi - Fa'', and a minor scale would be ''La - Mi - Fa - Sol - La - Fa - Sol - La.''
