<p class="just">Musically gifted, by age 18 Walker was leading congregational singing at the First Baptist Church in Spartanburg. He collected and arranged folk tunes, and with his brother-in-law, <a href = "./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_h_white_bf.html" >Benjamin Franklin White</a>, participated in singing schools and compiling melodies from southern Appalachia and camp meetings. After moving to Hartford, Connecticut, Walker published <em>The Southern

|
Harmony and Musical Companion</em> in 1835, but gave no credit to White, who published <em>The Sacred Harp</em>, a competing volume, in 1844. Both used the shaped note music notation system.</p>
