Seaborn McDaniel Denson

Seaborn McDaniel Denson (1854 – April 18, 1936) was a notable Alabama musician and singing school teacher within the Sacred Harp tradition.

S. M. Denson wrote most of the alto lines that were added to the 1911 J. S. James Original Sacred Harp.

A granite monument to the memory of Thomas J. and Seaborn M. Denson was erected on the courthouse square in Double Springs, Alabama.

Part of the inscription reads "By the loving hands of their families, pupils of their singing schools, and legions of singers and friends."

A. M. Cagle, himself later to become an important figure in the Sacred Harp movement, studied music under Seaborn Denson.
