Athens: Ohio State University Press, 1976. First Edition, First Printing. Near Fine in a Very Good Dust Jacket. Near Fine/Very Good.
Bindings are tight and square. Text clean, light even toning. Moderate shelf handling wear. Dust Jacket with price is in a new clear protective Mylar sleeve has moderate shelf handling. 4to 294 pages with index. Illustrations, musical scores and record in envelope laid in with sample recordings of the Harmonist music.. A History of the Music and Musicians of George Rapp's Harmony Society.
John George Rapp (1757 - 1847) was the founder of the religious sect called Harmonists, Harmonites, Rappites, or the Harmony Society. --- Born in Germany, Rapp became inspired by the philosophies of Jakob Böhme, Philipp Jakob Spener, and Emanuel Swedenborg, among others.
In the 1780s, George Rapp began preaching and soon started to gather a group of his own followers. His group officially split with the Lutheran Church in 1785 and was promptly banned from meeting. The persecution that Rapp and his followers experienced caused them to leave Germany and come to the United States in 1803. Rapp was a Pietist, and a number of his beliefs were shared by the Anabaptists, as well as groups such as the Shakers.
Rapp's religious beliefs and philosophy were the cement that held his community together both in Germany and in America - a Christian community and commune, which in America organized as the Harmony Society. The Harmony Society built three American towns, became rich, famous, and survived for 100 years - roughly from 1805 until 1905. [wiki]
