Song in the Night
A book of Christian songs based upon the Sacred Harp / ShapeNote tradition. Many of the songs are drawn from this early American rural Christian style, which combined powerful poetry (Isaac Watts and others) with folk tunes. Some of the songs are new, but put together in the same manner: by combining folk melodies with Christian poetry. The book is profusely illustrated and bordered. Most of the songs contain only melody, tune, and chords, so the harmony of the Sacred Harp tradition is missing. But it is designed for use by individuals who may not have the benefit of a choir or trained singers at their disposal.
