finished organizing Shape Notes Union Song Murder Ballad Banjo Hell playlist for now! Appalachian focus but not all strictly Appalachia, and organized in rough sections: lively banjo and guitar tunes up top, Sacred Harp and related styles in the middle, and more melancholy songs and murder ballads towards the bottom, so best not shuffled unless you like mood whiplash. enjoy 💀

Solfeggio or Shape note singing

[pancakekazoo]

I’ve been to three annual shape note singings and two small spontaneous gatherings to sing over the past six days. I was the only treble at the singing I went to today. I could barely do it.

I actually think I could sing some bass clef right now, haha.

Shape notes my beloved

[pancakekazoo]

I just realized that the pic in my avatar looks like I’m preaching, haha. I’m leading a song from the Christian Harmony book at a shape note singing. (#268 “Come Ye to the Waters”) I’m standing in the middle of a hollow square, so that’s why there are people on all sides of me. Just wanted to clarify that.

[sadnessbrigade]

There then to Thee Thine own I leave, Mold as Thou wilt my passive clay;

But let me all Thy stamp receive, But let me all Thy words obey.

Serve with a single heart and eye, And to Thy glory live or die.
