Hello Philip,
I've passed your request on to a friend of mine, Tim Cummings, who runs a
small publishing company specializing in the type of music you are looking
for. Tim lives in Vermont, USA. You can check out his web site at

Good luck in your search,
Richard

Subject: [NSP] Off-topic request for Hymnbook
This is way off-topic for NSP's, but given the wide musical interests of
many list members, I thought I'd give it a try -
I'm interested in getting a copy of The Sacred Harp hymnbook - or possibly
other shapenote books. I know the 1860 edition of Sacred Harp is available
online, in the Michegan State University digital collections, and I also
know I could order a copy of the current edition direct from the
publishers in the USA, but does anyone know if I can buy a copy here in
the UK?
Specifically, I'd like to find the music for Sacred Harp no.198 "Green
Street" to the words "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name" - ideally this
week!
That tune is not in the online edition (or if it is, I can't find it
there)
I'm sure there must be someone reading this list who knows this repertoire
well (and for anyone who doesn't, check it out on YouTube - it's
amazing) - if so, and if you can send me a scan of it, please contact me
off list and I'd be very grateful.
Thanks,
Philip
