Shaped Note / Sacred Harp Singing:
Led by Martha Waide, Sacred Harp singing is a non-denominational
community musical event emphasizing participation, not performance.
The music is set in four-part harmony and is sung a cappella. The
repertoire includes psalm tunes, fuging tunes, odes, and anthems by
the first American composers (1770-1810), and also settings of folk
songs and revival hymns (1810-1860).
