Lovely colonial hymns and anthems written by William Billings, Justin Morgan and others. Justin Morgan (who developed the Morgan horse) was one of colonial America’s most original composers. He traveled widely throughout colonial America, teaching at churches and community singing schools. Instead of composing in conformance with rigid European conservatory rules of the times, William Billings, Justin Morgan, and their contemporaries used as models the vigorous Scottish and English parish church psalmody. Invented in part to improve the quality of congregational singing, the singing school soon outstripped its purely church-centered focus and became an integral part of the social life of the community. These singing masters frequently became their own tunesmiths, cranking out lively pieces, arranged in harmonies that emphasized polyphonic rather than vertical harmonic lines.
