Stephen Jenks |
1772-1856 |
For the best, most complete biography of Stephen Jenks, please consult Warren Steel's introduction to Jenks' complete works: |
My transcriptions here are from Steel's edition. One exception is Evening Shade, which is still linked to the 1991 Sacred Harp version. The original Jenks version will replace it in a few weeks. The tunes transcribed so far are only the published tunes. Jenks's manuscript music is a project unto itself, and will follow at a later time. |
