Shape Note Singing

Come to the March singing and tune up for the convention the following weekend. At FSGW's monthly singings of early American hymns, anthems, and fuging tunes in unaccompanied four-part harmony, the main tunebook is The Sacred Harp, 1991 Edition, but Christian Harmony (Deason-Parris revision), Eclectic Harmony, and An American Christmas Harp are sometimes used, and original shape-note compositions by local singers may be sung. These singings are held every fourth Sunday afternoon (except in December) and also on New Year's Day. All are welcome to come and sing or listen for as long as desired. Loaner tunebooks are available. Admission is free. Fourth-Sunday singings last from 4:00-8:00 pm, with a potluck supper break at 6:00.
