Ascending Cadence Gestures, A New Historical Survey, Part 5b1: Hymnals by Augustus and Frederick Fillmore, 1847-1893

Part 5b1 is a supplement to Part 5b of the New Historical Survey. Where Part 5b offered examples from Shaker and Mormon hymnals published between 1893 and 1909, Part 5b1 covers six earlier hymnals compiled and partly written by the Fillmores and published in Cincinnati between 1847 and 1893. The earliest of them, The Christian Psalmist, was co-authored by Silas W. Leonard and Augustus D. Fillmore; it combined standard notation with two other formats and was one of the commercially most successful American hymnals of the 19th century.Musi
