TRADITONAL MUSICS OF ALABAMA VOLUME 3: NATIONAL SACRED HARP SINGING CONVENTION 2002 Listen
to Example "Milford" " In June of each year, on the Thursday, Friday, and Saturday that precede the third Sunday of the month, singers from around the nation and across the oceans gather in Birmingham, Alabama, for three days of vigorous singing from the shape note tunebook, the Sacred Harp. The occasion that brings them together is the National Sacred Harp Singing Convention, an event that draws from a deep-rooted tradition of public congregational singing. This recording of the 23rd session of the National Sacred Harp Singing Convention celebrates this important event." (John Bealle) To view liner notes, click the link below.
