On any Sunday afternoon a traveler through the Deep South might
chance upon the rich, full sound of Sacred Harp singing. Aided with
nothing but their own voices and the traditional shape-note
songbook, Sacred Harp singers produce a sound that is
unmistakable--clear and full-voiced. Passed down from early
settlers in the backwoods of the Southern Uplands, this religious
folk tradition hearkens back to a simpler age when Sundays were a
time for the Lord and the "singings."
Illustrated with forty-one songs from the original songbook,
"The Sacred Harp" is a comprehensive account of a unique form of
folk music. Buell Cobb's study encompasses the history of the
songbook itself, an analysis of the music, and an intimate portrait
of the singers who have kept alive a truly American tradition.
