New Harp of Columbia

The New Harp of Columbia is a seven-shape shape note tune book first published in 1867 in Knoxville, Tennessee by Marcus Lafayette Swan. This book was the successor to The Harp of Columbia published by W. H. and M. L. Swan in 1848.

The New Harp of Columbia contains a unique seven-shape system devised by Swan, which differs from the "standard" seven-shape notation of Jesse B. Aiken. In October 2001, a "Restored Edition" was published. This edition adds a section of 39 pages of tunes from the 1848 Harp of Columbia which were not included in the New Harp of Columbia.

The New Harp of Columbia has maintained popularity in eastern Tennessee, with about 20 singings in 2004.
