Shape Note Fuguing Tunes from The Sacred Harp
Posted by: PLBrayfield

Video duration: 329 seconds
Global video hits: 4931

Four favorites as sung at the all-day singing in Columbia, Missouri on October 20, 2007. Includes 'Russia' 'Northfield' New Jerusalem' and 'Nativity.' The first 3 of these are of the type known as 'fuguing tunes,' having a refrain in which the various parts enter separately, echoing and 'chasing' each other until they reunite at the end.

Although I believe there is at least one Sacred Harp video posted that was made in Wales, this one is from Columbia, Missouri, USA. But like the Welsh, American shape note singers sing their hearts out! Glad you enjoyed the video. Check out my channel if you'd like to see more Sacred Harp and other shape note videos! PB

By: gallusrex. on 16 Jun 08, 00:21:49
Very well done. A sing that happened in Wales, no less! Remarkable. The first time I heard Sacred Harp, I thought it was a Welsh Gymanfa Ganu.I need to get to another sing soon. In my church (RPCNA, "covenanter"), we use the tune "russia" for the last part of psalm 119. It's a very popular arrangement to sing...though to the uninitiated, it can be tricky to follow! Thank you for this video. --DP

By: PLBrayfield. on 16 May 08, 01:27:06
A lot depends on the room we're singing in, the size of the crowd, and where I can position myself & camera. I have a simple camera, and the sound of Sacred Harp singers belting it out in a crowded room freaks out the sound recording function. This was a small group so ironically, the sound recording is better. Right now a new camera is not in my budget - but I'm glad this one turned out clear. Thanks for the comment!

The idea just struck me: a book for each of Watts' or Wesley's containing one hymn and all it's verses. Maybe a shopping cart full of songbooks? Like an old friend of mine used to say, "Dinner all day, and singin' on the ground"

By: PLBrayfield. on 08 Feb 08, 17:55:08
I got a laugh out of your comment. I wonder if there ever were congregations that sang all the verses of a Wesley or a Watts hymn! Or maybe the idea was that you could omit any verses you didn't subscribe to ;)

By: bangwezl. on 08 Feb 08, 05:17:39
Charles Wesley, writer of "Oh, For A Thousand Tongues" wrote over 5500 hymns. Arcane legend has it that there are over a thousand verses to "Thousand Tongues"; just about any hymnbook you pick up has ten or twelve, frequently all different...Hallelujah!

By: PLBrayfield. on 09 Jan 08, 04:26:37
That young man has been involved in Sacred Harp singing since he was old enough to say 'fa-so-la.' He attended with his father, who is singing in the front row of the trebles (red shirt). There's no dress code - you see everything from 'Sunday best' to black leather and one earring at these singings - in my experience, everyone is welcomed.

By: mudws. on 08 Nov 07, 14:30:58
All four of these songs are originally fuging-tunes. NATIVITY, also known as LINGHAM, is a well-known English fuging-tune; the Sacred Harp prints an "de-fugued" version, but you can hear the original bass and tenor entries at "The triumphs of, the triumphs of his grace."

I have posted several videos from shape note singings I have participated in this year. Given the almost random make-up of the group at any one singing (and my inexpensive camera) the quality of the sound in my videos varies from poor to much better ;) You can search youtube using search terms shape note and Sacred Harp if you want to see more.

By: PLBrayfield. on 19 Aug 07, 23:39:42
Songs are in 3 or 4-part harmony; singers sit in a 'hollow square' with one part to each side and leader in the center. They are not a choir nor are they singing for a audience. All who wish to call a song are given a turn to stand in the center and 'lead,' which most commonly means simply beating the time. everyone invited to share. Many singers have no formal musical training. They read the songs by the shape note method. This is a 'grassroots' folk tradition.

To continue: ...
By: PLBrayfield. on 19 Aug 07, 23:30:12
To continue: Currently there are Sacred Harp singers nationwide. Many groups hold singing conventions every year, and often people travel long distances to be part. This video was made at the 20th annual convention at Goshen Indiana. In addition to Indiana and Michigan, singers from Illinois, Alabama, Texas, California, and Canada were there, all singing together all day! (More)

By: PLBrayfield. on 19 Aug 07, 23:23:58
Gladly! First, look at the youtube posting, Awake My Soul. This gives a little background on this traditional shape note singing, its history as an American folk tradition. The Sacred Harp is a book of shape note songs first published in 1844. Some say the 'sacred harp' means the human voice. This type of group singing was common on the frontier in the early 1800's; the tradition has continued unbroken in parts of the south.

You're probably right about that. Most of the leaders I have seen are pretty restrained, though I have seen a few leaders from the south (presumably 'authentic') walk around or even seem to do a little dance-like step in place as they lead. (Authentic or not, this is powerful for me.)

By: jpksilversand. on 17 Aug 07, 21:19:15
This is a beautiful rendition of 183, with the minor sound characteristic of Sacred Harp singing, with its elevated sixth scale degree pefectly evident -- though I certainly wouldn't describe the leader's dramatic movements as 'authentic.'

Four Foot-Stompin' Shape Note Tunes
Posted by: PLBrayfield

Video duration: 332 seconds
Global video hits: 4640

These four Sacred Harp songs ('Fulfillment,' 'Praise God,' 'I'll Seek His Blessing,' 'Fairfield') exhibit some of the salient charactistics often associated with this type of singing: a minor mode, primitive-sounding harmonies, and a heavily accented, driving rhythm. Singers are fervent and enthusiastic, and often beat the rhythm with their hands, and sometimes, with feet!

By: AmosPressley. on 26 Apr 08, 14:13:31
Yes indeed! Sacred Harp is an antidote to a malady our culture now has. We are infected with entertainment-centered gatherings that we dare to call "worship." Sacred Harp is not about entertainment or performance, it is about participation. Beyond that, it satisfies the essence of "spiritual sacrifice" because it takes some effort to learn and to sing. Since God is the only legitimate Spectator in worship, every effort is dedicated to Him.

I appreciate your encouragement. The quality of the audio is something I don't really have much control over - it depends a lot on the room where the singing is taking place, plus the place where I am standing. And this has to be non-intrusive. The room where this singing took place is a really good one for the sound of shape note singing!

Thanks so much for the addition of the sheet music from the Sacred Harp Book and for the words overlaid on the video as well as the better and better audio (which will always be a close second to actually being at a sing)! The refinements in your work shows. My eyes, ears, and heart are grateful.

This song is 'Return Again' (Denson Sacred Harp 335). I dubbed in this sound clip from another source ('Glory in My Soul' a CD of singing at the Missouri Shape Note Singing Convention in 1998), which accounts for its excellent sound quality as compared to the clips in this little movie which I made on my poorly-functioning camera! As to the goosebumps - many people experience the same response to Sacred Harp singing! I did - and that's part of the reason I got involved with it!

Some (Captain Kidd for ex) are tunes from English or Scottish folk ballads, with Christian poetry substituted, and harmonized by the method common to shape note harmony. Singer/composers are still composing new songs in this old style. Check out my channel for more shape note singing videos if interested!

It also in some ways expresses the energy one feels when singing this very heartfelt kind of music. Most of the people in the group will call a song and lead it in the center of the 'hollow square' in which singers sit, with one of the 4 parts occupying each of the 4 sides of the square.

This is to ALL singers of song at McConnell Chapel. I LOVE to sing the notes too. My father taught the DO to DO eight note singing, as I do now. Got a singing school going on now in Southwest Va. I would love to know the name of this song you sing here, and I believe its "Jesus Made Me Glad" but unsure. Please email me if you will, and let me know the book and the name of the song. yaesuham2 at yahoo
