well Ron Davies, we do not really do Sacred Harp. Although some have us have done a couple of workshops in SH, however I am going to a Sacred Harp Carol Sing this afternoon. Some of us do enjoy Gaudete, this soloist is our friend Ali, who sings in Trangl with my wife and I.
Arkie, the I Heard the bells setting is from a book compiled by Shelley Posen of the group Finest Kind, is is called the Canadian Pub Caroller.
It is basically a round which goes First time All, then Bass, Tenor, Alto, Soprano, then when everyone repeats the last line until we get together, the last time through is done with each part repeating the same single line of melody (it varies on each of the 4 lines) with all of the words.
Sans Day I have been doing for the last 20 years or so, not sure now where it originated from, I think a Book of Carols we bought from the MET.
Glad you liked it, JohnB
