Nobody does pomp and circumstance like the British.

American shape-note hymn collections such as the 1816 Kentucky Harmony, 1844 Sacred Harp, and 1835 Southern Harmony preserve a treasury of sacred texts and tunes that convey not only the rough energy and confidence of a new land, but the sorrows and hard lives that accomplished its building.
