The Story of Southern Hymnology is a comprehensive exploration of the history and development of hymnody in the American South. Written by Arthur Linwood Stevenson, a prominent musicologist and hymnologist, the book traces the evolution of Southern hymnody from its roots in European sacred music to its unique expression in the African American spiritual tradition. Through a combination of historical research and musical analysis, Stevenson examines the cultural, social, and religious influences that shaped Southern hymnody, including the impact of the Civil War, the rise of gospel music, and the emergence of Southern Baptist and Methodist denominations. He also explores the contributions of key figures in Southern hymnology, such as William Walker, Thomas Dorsey, and Fanny Crosby.In addition to its scholarly insights, The Story of Southern Hymnology is also a valuable resource for musicians and worship leaders, providing a wealth of hymns and musical examples that illustrate the unique character and style of Southern hymnody. Overall, this book offers a fascinating and informative look at the rich and diverse musical heritage of the American South.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
