Title NameSix Southern Folk Hymns and Variants of a Southern Song
Marketing CopyAll of these seven SOUTHERN FOLK HYMNS are arranged from the 1854 edition of the Southern Harmony and Musical Companion by the South Carolina (later Georgia) singing-schoolmaster and composer William Walker, who composed some of the tunes, arranged others, and harmonized them all in a style resembling more the a cappella polyphony of the Middle Ages (or of colonial New England composers such as Billings) than that of choral music typical of the early nineteenth century, with its keyboard orientation. This harmonization is adhered to completely in these arrangements for SAT saxophone trio by Walter S. Hartley, with only some transpositions and octave displacements suitable to this instrumental ensemble. Included: 1. Amazing Grace (New Britain); 2. The Babe of Bethlehem; 3. Wondrous Love; 4. Christian Prospect; 5. The Promised Land; 6. Hallelujah; 7. Variants of a Southern Song ("Idumea" by Ananias Davisson - 1818).
