The Cashaway Psalmody
to give as a wedding present in 1770. A collection of tenor melody parts for 152 tunes and sixty-three texts, the
Psalmody
is the only surviving tunebook from the colonial-era South and one of the oldest sacred music manuscripts from the Carolinas. It is all the more remarkable for its sophistication: no similar document of the period matches Hills's level of musical expertise, reportorial reach, and calligraphic skill.
Stephen A. Marini, discoverer of

's significance in understanding how ritual songtransmitted via transatlantic music, lyrics, and sacred singingshaped the era's development. Marini also uses close musical and textual analyses to provide a critical study that offers music historians and musicologists valuable insights on the
Pslamody
and its period.
Meticulous in presentation and interdisciplinary in scope,
unlocks an important source for understanding life in the Lower South in the eighteenth century.
