Deutsche Harmonie, oder Mehrstimmige Gesänge für deutsche Singeschulen und Kirchen by J.G. Schmauk is a mid-19th century German-language hymnal published in 1847 by W.G. Mentz in Philadelphia. This collection was specifically designed for German-American singing schools and churches, featuring a wide array of three- and four-part chorales (SATB) rooted in the Protestant tradition. The hymnal combines musical notation with German texts, making it a valuable resource for choirs and congregations seeking to maintain German-language worship and choral practices in the United States. Deutsche Harmonie stands as a testament to the cultural and religious heritage of German immigrants in America.
