Sacred Harp singing is the largest surviving branch of traditional American
Shape Note Singing. ``Sacred Harp`` refers to The Sacred Harp, a book first
published in 1844 and continuously updated since. Along with other hymn books
from the era, its repertoire of 550 4-part a cappella hymns, odes, and anthems
is part of the foundation of a vibrant oral tradition handed down since
Colonial times and still practiced at hundreds of annual singing meetings,
conventions, and local singing groups throughout the country. This hour
features Christian Music from their recording in 1999.

The Sacred Harp tradition draws singers from all over the United States to
gatherings called singings. At various times during the year, singers gather
for fellowship, breaking bread and spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This
music is not only sung, but felt. This "Community of Singers" across the United
States and beyond, is bound by our Love of the Power of the Music and
appreciation of the fellowship in Jesus Christ.

The Chairman of the music singing is David Ivey. The pastor of the church is
Tony Ivey. This singing was held at Liberty Church at Henagar, Alabama. Their
official website is  http://www.fasola.org
