On Shaped-Note Singing
In my Monday post, I mentioned Shaped-note/Sacred harp Singing. It’s an odd but beautiful art form. I mean no unkindness here, but the singers tend to “beller” rather than sing. The shape of the note indicates the note to be sung, and this unique folk-art is rhythmic and engaging.
I found this, on YouTube. “Bound For the Promised Land” is the first song here.
