Shape Note Sing

Fri, 22 Feb 2013 10:20:46 GMT

04-22-2013 to 12-22-2013 - The Shape Note Sing is held the fourth Sunday of each month (except during the month of the Shape Note Singing Convention) from 2-4 p.m. at the Friends Meeting House in Raleigh. Shape note singing is for everyone - beginners and exeprienced singers are all welcome. Music is available at the session for anyone who doesn't have a book.

Sacred Harp singing is the largest surviving branch of traditional American shape note singing. Singers in this tradition sing without accompaniment and sit arranged by vocal part in a "hollow square," facing one another across the square and taking turns at leading from the middle of the square. The songs are sung loudly, with spirit and enthusiasm, and rich four-part harmonies fill the room. The leader of each song sets the tempo with a simple vertical arm movement, and singers sitting in the square often beat time with the leader.
