Thread Name: Shape Note or Sacred Harp
Subject: RE: Shape Note or Sacred Harp
Barbara, you mentioned Vol 6 of the Lomax Southern Journey series - 'Brethren, We Meet Again'. Volumes 9 and 10 of the 13 volume series are devoted specifically to Sacred Harp singing: Vol 9 'Harp of a Thousand Strings: All Day Singing from the Sacred Harp' Rounder CD 1709 and Vol 10 'And Glory Shone Around: More All Day Singing from the Sacred Harp' Rounder CD 1710. Rounder also has another fine CD in The Library of Congress Archive of Folk Culture series: 'Sacred Harp Singing' Rounder CD 1503 - these are earlier recordings from 1943.

Cheers, Stewie.
