12	13 Shape Note Singing! Shape Note Singing! January 13, 2025 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm Shape note singing is a social, community singing tradition. We sing from The Sacred Harp and The Shenandoah Harmony, music books printed with shaped note heads designed to teach vocal, sight singing. This music is characterized by open harmonies and a raw, powerful sound that is sung in unaccompanied, four-part harmony. All religious affiliations (and un-affiliations) are welcome. We sing for each other and the joy of singing. This is music for participation, rather than performance.
