Andrew Law (composer)

Andrew Law (1749–1821) was an American composer, preacher and singing teacher.

[2] His works include Select Harmony (1778), a Collection of Best Tunes and Anthems (1779), and The Art of Singing in Three Parts (1792–96).

He was among the first American composers to put the melody in the soprano instead of the tenor part, and was also one of the first Americans to write about music.

Andrew Law was a pioneer of the FASOLA (Shape note) system of musical notation which simplified lessons in reading music during the Singing School era of New England music.
