Lined-out Hymnody: Kentucky Old Regular Baptists Sing "I Am A Poor Pilgrim Of Sorrow." 1993
Loading...
Uploaded by EdmundStAustell on Dec 16, 2010
Lined-out hymnody is America's oldest English language religious music, at least of the oral tradition. It goes back to the 17th century, and is basically call and response music. Most parishioners, in the 18th and early 19th centuries especially, could not read. This provided a way to sing many hymns without having memorized the words, as the congregation could follow the leader. This selection is sung by members of the Indian Bottom Association, Old Regular Baptists, at Defeated Creek Church in Linefork, KY, in 1993.

Thank you so much for posting this. The man lining this song is my grandfather who passed away nearly 5 years ago. Hearing this today was like hearing him sing from heaven.

Older still is lined out or else continuous Psalm singing. There would be little hymnody *at all* in the seventeenth century. Folk would use the Bay Psalm Book, the Scottish Psalter, or chant from the Anglican Book of Common Prayer. Hymns among Presbyterians, Independents/Congregationalists and Baptists did not come in till the early to mid eighteenth century amongst the Baptists.
