More About Sacred Harp Singing

Here is the introduction to the series of videos recording an all-day Sacred Harp Sing.  I was kind of pleased to see it also notes that Charles Ives wrote about the tradition, praising its power and exultation.  

And here is the "Singing School" video that explains some of the sight signing system, though I have to say that I believe there are a few historical errors in what the instructor says and I would never teach the tetrachordal moveable-do which works quite well for Sacred Harp repertoire but which is far less applicable in more general musical culture.   But you don't have to worry about that because those are just details, it's the music, the power and exultation that matters.
