The Christian Harmony

The Christian Harmony is a shape note hymn and tune book compiled by William Walker.

Walker and Benjamin Franklin White, publisher of The Sacred Harp, married sisters.

In 1835, Walker published a tunebook entitled The Southern Harmony in four-shape (fasola) notation.

The books used in western North Carolina and adjacent areas were 1979, 1994, and 2002 reprints of Walker's 1873 edition of the Christian Harmony.

The remaining twelve and a half pages consist of songs from the 1958 Alabama book that have been moved for a more spacious layout.

Miller Company of Philadelphia, reported sales largely limited to the Spartanburg area at that time.

Camp DoReMi, a summer singing school in Little Switzerland, North Carolina, is held annually and uses both The Christian Harmony and the New Harp of Columbia.

A singing tradition with deep roots continues in Haywood and Transylvania counties, North Carolina.

[2] On Sunday 27 October 2013 the first Christian Harmony All-Day Singing in Europe took place at St Mary's Church in Primrose Hill,[3] hosted by the Sacred Harp Singers of London, who now regularly sing from the 2010 edition of Walker's Christian Harmony.
