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.

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!

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.

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

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.
