General Information
William Walker's Southern Harmony, first published in 1835, is one of the most important and influential books of American music. Walker says in his 1835 Preface,
- "I have composed the parts to a great many good airs (which I could not find in any publication, nor in manuscript) and assigned my name as the author. I have also composed several tunes wholly, and inserted them in this work, which also bear my name."
In 1846, Walker published The Southern and Western Pocket Harmonist, Intended as an Appendix to the Southern Harmony. It was dated 1845, but actually published in early 1846.
