Sacred Harp, Southern Harmonies, Christian Harmonies, Cherokee, Shaker, and Choral Settings
Church music from this “a cappella” folk music tradition consists of songs with 2, 3, and 4-voice settings printed in a variety of set shape-note notations found in hymnals such as The Sacred Harp , Christian Harmony , Old Harp of Columbia , and Southern Harmony . Emphasis is placed on singing with emotion rather than a mastery of blend and vocal technique, although these tended to follow, the longer a group sang together. Many regions of throughout the South continued and further developed this tradition with its roots in New England. Out of the singing schools grew a tradition of “singing conventions” where people would bring their Harps or Harmonies and sing for hours and days at a time, usually after the crops were planted and before their harvest. Potlucks at the singing “dinner on the grounds” mixed socializing with the singings, and young singers fresh from recent singing schools were given an opportunity to try out their newly honed skills. Folk hymnody remains a rich and thriving form of folk music, but a field that is still little researched.

Gospel Hymn Settings
Gospel music was a major venue for creative folk expression in rural Southern agricultural communities during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This folk art form was spread by singing masters who toured rural America with evangelistic fervor teaching musical fundamentals, mostly shape-notes but some round-notes as well, to young audiences. Community singing and its more formal cousin, convention gospel music, also constitute the first instance of mass musical participation across geographic and cultural lines in American popular culture, paving the way for more modern forms of mass musical participation such as country western music and rock and roll. Gospel groups, consisting of local, semi-professional and professional vocal ensembles (ranging from three singers to choirs), performed spirituals, hymns, and other religious works, usually with piano, organ, or other instrumental accompaniment. These groups exploited the popular harmonic, rhythmic, and vocal styles of the day in churches, religious concerts, radio broadcasts, and recordings.

African-American Hymn and Gospel Settings
African religious music relies on the power of the words, the repetitive, stressed or redressive power of the words set to music. The church provided a matrix for social gatherings, education, philanthropy, artistic development, as well as worship. This formed a strong church-centered support for the African-American Sacred harp songbook, which continues to be performed today, along with gospel or more contemporary religious works, at union halls, county courthouses, schools, singing halls, community centers, homes and churches, the majority of which are Baptist and Methodist. African-American Sacred Harp music is also performed at conventions, memorials, anniversaries, picnics, birthdays, religious holidays, and Sunday singings. Songs tend to be homophonic and strophic, although fuging can be heard in some songs. Africans produced lasting innovations in the hymns that the Europeans brought to the campss, resulting in the camp-meeting spiritual, one of the major forces that directly generated the Sacred Harp , with a majority of B. F. White’s Sacred Harp in 1844 being taken from camp meetings. African-Americans in the musical current that flowed from Kentucky and Tennessee into northern Alabama still use the Denson Revisions of the B. F. White Sacred Harp ,while others use the Cooper Revisions.
