This is way off-topic for NSP's, but given the wide musical interests of
many list members, I thought I'd give it a try -
I'm interested in getting a copy of The Sacred Harp hymnbook - or possibly
other shapenote books. I know the 1860 edition of Sacred Harp is available
online, in the Michegan State University digital collections, and I also
know I could order a copy of the current edition direct from the publishers
in the USA, but does anyone know if I can buy a copy here in the UK?
Specifically, I'd like to find the music for Sacred Harp no.198 "Green
Street" to the words "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name" - ideally this
week!
That tune is not in the online edition (or if it is, I can't find it there)
I'm sure there must be someone reading this list who knows this repertoire
well (and for anyone who doesn't, check it out on YouTube - it's amazing) -
if so, and if you can send me a scan of it, please contact me off list and
I'd be very grateful.
Thanks,
Philip
