Thread Name: Shape Note or Sacred Harp
Subject: RE: Shape Note or Sacred Harp
There is also a wonderful book called Northern Harmony, which collects New England sacred harp as well as many works that have been written recently (It is still happening) Village Harmony is the source for this one. They have a website, and I believe that if you try searching for Village Harmony, you'll get to it pretty quickly. Vermonters tend to travel for their sacred harp, so leave a message with Larry (Gordon, the person who has taught much of the Sacred Harp up here, through Word of Mouth Chorus, Bayley Hazen, and Village Harmony choruses and camps) and he will probably spread the word. Larry's various groups have also done recordings of Sacred Harp music.

I have a fondness for Roslin Castle, Harmony, Showers of Blessings, As Pants the Hart, Africa (mentioned before) and Garden.
