First published in 1844, The Sacred Harp is the most enduringly beloved of the classic 19th century songbooks written in shape notes, an ingenious system designed as a musical teaching aid. Boisterous camp meeting ranters; ancient folk melodies; haunting, almost medieval-sounding dirges and fuging tunes are sung a cappella with the singers facing each other in a square. The result is dynamic, frequently raw, and often achingly beautiful. No experience necessary. All voices welcome.
