The Sacred Harp

Huh. That was strangely entertaining. I did wonder where the harps were, though.

Name taken from the hymn book they're all singing from.

I find it mesmerising! I've been humming some of these tunes for the last couple of days.

Oh, and here's two priests leading:

One's Franciscan and the other a Benedictine-turned-diocesan. At least I think I've got that right.

It's cool to listen, but it must be amazing to sing it. I love to sing in a choir. It could really reinforce your strenght.

Wait. This is a Catholic gathering?

Not that I know of, but just that a couple of priests showed up.

I read through the link darcy posted, and it was interesting to read that the singers are encouraged to basically sing as loud as possible.

Puella what have you done? I'm now addicted to these songs!  I wanted to add that in watching some other clips, there was a gathering Poland that had a Dominican leading, and it looked like at the First Ireland convention there was also a Dominican (it suspiciously looked like the same friar - at least from the back of his head).  

I just want to go out and gather some people to sing!

I went to a Sacred Harp singing this past Sunday, thanks to you, Puella. It was a good time. I'll be going every month now. :)

Totes jelly.

Happy you had fun - and singing is Very Good™ for you!

Look at all the fun people're having!

This is my favourite that I've seen so far.  I think I've already listened to it about 10 times over the last two days.
