Northern Harmony:
Plain Tunes, Hymns and Anthems from
the New England Singing School Tradition
1998, Edited by Larry Gordon and Anthony Barrand. Illustrations by Tom Bower. 4th edition. Hardcover, 280 pages.
Northern Harmony has always been a singer's collection. These tunes have been taught to singers of every age, ability, background and musical taste. They work. There is, perhaps, no other easily accessible choral music that is as much fun to sing. The music is stark, rhythmic, frequently modal, and very distinctive, set to the fierce rhymed poetry of Issac Watts and others.
Two-thirds of this volume presents a selection of plain tunes, fuging tunes, and anthems written by American composers during the years 1770-1810, most of them hitherto unavailable in modern editions. The remaining portion is contemporary compositions.
