I see however no such attribution in IMSLP's scan of the 1814 The Beauties of Harmony (in which the 2nd phrase's last note has a 3rd beat!) The 1820 4th edition has a 4-part setting with added alto inscribed"Attributed to McFarland in The Beauties of Harmony, by Freeman Lewis, 1813; Attributed to Freeman Lewis in Supplement to the Kentucky Harmony, by Ananias Davisson, 1820"
DUNLAP'S CREEK C. M. Hymn 62, Book 2, ver. 4 Ascribed to S. M'Farland This tune is elsewhere called "Funeral Thought."
Should I make this a recurring thread type every few months or so with a new uncommon hymn tune?
"... with a new uncommon hymn tune?" Why an uncommon hymn tune?
Why an uncommon hymn tune?
