On-Line Shapenote Resources Mary K. Friday Frank Evans I love to sing Sacred Harp. Something moves me; when the sound swells and the harmony is awe-inspiring and the poetry speaks with great power, I know I am moved by the Spirit. I know many of us define the Spirit differently, as Al Frank [remarked]. There is mystery here, and grace, and love. Whether we define the Spirit within one of the many Christian traditions, or simply feel it as the music speaks through us, we are joined at those moments in the Sacred Harp tradition, and the Spirit moves through us, by the meaning of the poetry, or the grace of God, the unfathomable mystery of the music, or the sharing of tradition in community. We each bring a unique experience of Sacred Harp music to the hollow square, and together our individual experiences join to build a community of enormous power and joy. And when from death I'm free, I'll sing and joyful be; Throughout eternity, I'll sing on. ~ "Wondrous Love" Lyrics from Dupuy's Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1811 The Chesapeake Bay Watershed Area Shapenote SingersRefer to Fasola Singings for current Annual and local Singings Contact Miriam for for historic convention flyers and minutes (contact information removed).
