Please note that it is common to sing the melody in shapes prior to singing the words.
sound. at the Kings Road Park Pavilion: Singing Shape is an exploration of Shape Note singing (also known as Sacred Harp singing), a tradition associated with the deep south and introduced by itinerant music teachers to make the melodies and harmonies accessible to those with no formal musical training. The participants are arranged in a square based on four part harmony for this exclusively a capella form. The result is a wall of vocal sound that is powerful, compelling and intended to be experienced from within the singing group.
"Come and learn as well as participate in a unique, alternative musical language. Utilizing a few shapes instead of basic music notation, the shape note form invites participants to hone in on harmonic structures in large groups, allowing beautiful sounds to materialize among people who have likely never sung together before. The music is easy, the sound is joyously resonant, and all voices and ages are welcome -- a willingness to sing is the only requirement. "
