Sacred Harp singing is an a capella (performed only with voices – no instruments) sacred choral art developed around the late 1700′s/ early 1800′s in New England.

Though the art saw a decline in New England, it flourished in the American South, and is seeing a recent revival, especially among young urbanites. It’s noted for its uncommon choral arrangements, including a ‘practice’ first verse composed entirely of the baseline notes ‘fa’, ‘sol’, ‘la’, and ‘mi’.

But you don’t need a musical education to enjoy this beautiful ensemble of voices!
