The fasola singing in the beginning is to establish the notes and is a great skill to have. Why don't we teach this in the schools? Shape notes were a system that worked; we should have kept it. And PLBrayfield is right; being at Sacred Harp in person is awesome and just about unrecordable!

The shapenote system is still taught in some schools. My dad used to teach choir in public schools, and he taught the seven-note system. so it's still being taught; just not everywhere.

Anybody have the name of the tune, or a link to a PDF of the score?

It's "Higher Ground." John brought it to Mt. Pisgah a couple of weeks ago and had typed copies then. I can mail it if you still want it/ don't have it.

This song is 'better than it sounds.' I was there - we were all sight reading it from handwritten copies. I predict that next time we sing it, it will sound great.
