Remember "Singing Night"?

Moogy, why don't you start a group on your own?

Isn't the world wonderful...I am all for rational optimism and I am staying positive.

Re: Remember "Singing Night"?
I googled Sacred Harp so I could hear what it sounded like. Don't Primitive Baptists and Mennonites use that singing method?
Re: Remember "Singing Night"?
The Mennonite group that I was familiar with, did not. They had their own hymnal, with songs such as "Brother let me be your servant, Let me be as Christ to you". They welcomed songs from other traditions as well, and sang acapella.FinallyFree wrote:I googled Sacred Harp so I could hear what it sounded like.

Re: Remember "Singing Night"?
My hubby participates in a Sacred Harp group. It is (ideally) a relaxed group, with participants taking turns choosing and leading songs from the Sacred Harp hymnal, and chatting or going out for coffee afterwards. The focus is on the moment, rather than performance driven.Moogy wrote:Has anyone ever attended a Sacred Harp singing. It's people from all denominations (or even none) using shape note song books. I would like to try one sometime, but I haven't found one nearby.

They have a Sacred Harp convention every year in Henderson, TX. The next is scheduled for Aug 12-13 and is the 163rd convention.Moogy wrote:Has anyone ever attended a Sacred Harp singing.

It kind of reminded me of German soldiers singing martial anthems.Ivy wrote:For some reason, I didn't really like "singing night". Not sure what that was about.
