They have a reasonably extensive Gospel section, where I imagine this would be filed, but no luck; could be elsewhere, though the employee I asked hadn't heard of it or the like. <br /><br />btw, another thing I meant to look for but forgot about, which Nina had also previously brought to RC was the Tahitian Choir. More amazingly odd and powerful choral music.Brian Olewnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08567239067604835372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-71012418320302020352009-05-29T11:42:55.552-04:002009-05-29T11:42:55.552-04:00sacred harp singing is a subset of shape note sing...sacred harp singing is a subset of shape note singing, so called because of the easy-to-read shapes rather than notes on a clef in the hymnal. music training isn't necessary at all, and many of the sacred heart ensembles apparently happily involve walk-ins.<br /><br />it's called sacred harp singing after the most popular of those shape note hymnals.<br /><br />anyway dust to digital is the right place to look. they actually arranged for the cd you're writing about, though they released it under a different label name to indicate the involvement of the directors. is my understanding, anyway.<br /><br />idumae 47b (and am i born to die) is one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard.<br /><br />mmarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12594588067838334993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-42582628809309078172009-05-28T21:55:18.722-04:002009-05-28T21:55:18.722-04:00Thanks for this;wasn't aware of documentary/soundt...Thanks for this;wasn't aware of documentary/soundtrack.<br /><br />Back in the day,at "camp meetings" in SC,we just called it singing,and it was very informal.Anyone could take their turn in the center,and lead the others;performers and audience,one and the same.<br /><br />Compelled(not by Christ:)by your post to search;this seems to have evolved into something much grander than what I was exposed to,but great to hear this music(best part of religion)being kept alive...<br /><br />BillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-23460878969424130252009-05-28T06:35:06.163-04:002009-05-28T06:35:06.163-04:00Hey Brian,
