Holy Manna
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Holy Manna is the hymn tune originally written for "Brethren, We Have Met Together", which is one of the oldest published American folk hymns. Holy Manna is a pentatonic melody in Ionian mode. It was originally published by William Moore in Columbian Harmony, a four-note shape-note tunebook, in 1829, and is attributed to him.[1]
Like most shape-note songs from that century, it is usually written in three parts. The meter is 87.87D.
