Third edition. ASMI 289. Jenks a composer and tunebook compiler taught singing-schools in New England and New York state and developed a network of both pupils and fellow teachers whose compositions he went on to publish. The Delights of Harmony contains his Sorrow's Tear 1804 perhaps the earliest American setting of a poem by Thomas Moore as well as his Evening Shade and North Salem both of which are still frequently performed by southern shape-note singers who preserve the singing-school tradition. "Stephen Jenks' music is representative of the type of music being written at that time in rural New England America a cappella and an interest in melodic writing. However his music contains striking harmonic progressions unusual dissonances and cross relations. In "Weeping Nature" The Delights of Harmony 1804 for example Jenks seems to revel in the clash of the E major / minor chord or in the song "Sorrow's Tear" filled with cross relations between C sharp / C natural. Although many of these result from his use of modal harmony and as previously mentioned strong melodic writing for the individual parts his use of these relations is not simply random they are used to express the text being set."
