Sacred Harp: Singing School & Participatory Community Sing
Learn about and participate in America’s oldest hymn tradition hosted by the Albany Sacred Harp. Sacred Harp or Shape Note singing started in colonial New England, survived in the rural South, and was re-embraced in its place of birth in the 20th century. The singing is known for its driving rhythms, full loud voices, and archaic melodies and harmonies. At this participatory workshop, you will learn to read and sing from shape note notation, an ingenious 200-year-old variation on traditional music notation that enables participants to sight sing in harmony even if they cannot read music.
