People from the south are much more familiar with Shaped Note singing. It comes from the earliest settlers who arrived in the south from England, Scotland and Ireland.
I grew up loving and singing this music. It almost died away but just look at this group from around the world who does a virtual singing.
There is no instruments, just voices lifting up their praise to God. It's spine-tingling, soul soothing!
In case you've never heard Sacred Harp music before, take a listen. Let me know what you think.
The music, the faces, the joy and comfort they project. . . . . something so needed in these terrible times.
