Awake My Soul, Part 3

We'll continue with Awake, My Soul and finish up the video this week.  Some key thoughts so far are how this very old style of singing has been preserved primarily in the South, that there has been a resurgence of interest in the Sacred Harp style of singing in the past 10-15 years, and that this emerged out of the singing schools -- as a way to improve congregational singing.  From my perspective, Sacred Harp is about worship, about community, and about making music participation accessible to as many people as possible.
