Subject: RE: Req/ADD: Ecstasy (Sacred Harp song)
Here's the music
Ecstasy p.106
Words: John Leland, 1793
Potomac River recording is from the 1991 ed. (Red aka Denson book)
Cooper (blue) Book uses the A part of the music to sing an entire verse before singing the chorus. From the facsimile I linked to their version is truer to the source. Repeat marks in the old books were very inconsistent.
