The B. F. White Sacred Harp (Cooper Book) Composer Index
Alto Composers—In the early editions of The Sacred Harp, most of the tunes were published without an alto part.
As part of W. M. Cooper’s 1902 Revision, an alto part was added to all songs that did not have one.
Even in later editions of the Cooper Revision, some of the newer compositions include an “added” alto part that is composed by a second individual.
The individuals who composed the added alto line are notated below.
Look up names of composers in the table below.
Book sources are listed at the end.
