{wiki=William_Walker_(composer)}
William Walker (1809–1875) was an American composer, music publisher, and figure in the field of shape-note singing. He is best known for his work with shape-note hymnals, particularly the "Southern Harmony," which he compiled and published in 1835. This hymnal played a significant role in the shape-note singing movement, which was a way of teaching music that uses shapes to represent different pitches.
