Songs
Click the links below to listen to songs found in the New Harp of Columbia. Here, you can listen to individual parts (Treble, Alto, Lead/Tenor, Bass) and learn them. Note that the voices are not real human voices, but are computer generated. The page scans of the songs are from either the Sacred Harp or the Christian Harmony, so the shapes are not the Swan shapes used by the New Harp of Columbia, but the composition of the songs is essentially the same. We suggest looking at the song in your New Harp of Columbia book while listening and singing along. Thanks to Ulrike Tietjen and Harald Grundner for providing this great learning resource. Also, thanks to Jonathon Smith and Joseph Bray, for providing the videos and recordings of songs from the Wear’s Valley Convention.
