From an Australian Fan:
Trust the Welsh to outsing all others! (as always) The mixing up of the first call parts in the fugue outshines anything I have seen from the homeplace American interpretations of this music. A real musical inspiration! And the enthusiasm! Bravo!

From an American fan: This is great, but I don't know about 'outsing all others.' Maybe you haven't seen my 'Four Footstompin Shape note Tunes' yet (posted a couple of days ago). But after all, it's not a contest ;) and I'm sure we all wish that the oceans between us didn't prevent our all singing in one big hollow square!

(or any number of others . . . such as my 'Four Fuguing Tunes,' or the Goshen singings . . .) Check 'em out!

What a wonderful surprise to find this posting of Sacred Harp Singing so far from its birthplace! The same thrilling sound, the same enthusiastic approach to singing. I love it!

Here we go again. America is not the "birthplace of Sacred Harp". Sacred Harp, or shaped-note singing, as it came to be known in America, comes from England, Scotland, Ireland. It is old English/Scottisch/Irish/Celtic music - fuguing tunes, ballads and folk songs. The composers of this music came from the old country(England), as did the "shaped-note" tradition of singing.

@ServusGrueziHallo LOL, isn't it silly. Most everything , good or bad, we learned from England. It is undeniable. Had I not read your post, I would have assumed. As a separate country (est. 1776), we also owe props to Sweet England for the practice of consanguineous marriages, slavery, a genetic predisposition to gum disease, and Evangelicals...the list goes on... But, if you want to be technical, most everything started in Ancient Sumar.
