What we’re about
Sacred Harp or shape note singing is a four-part a cappella music dating from the 16th through the 20th centuries. It is characterised by haunting harmonies, traditional modes, raucous songs, serene hymns, fast fugues, and high-energy anthems. The notation is written in shapes that correspond to degrees of the scale, making it easy to sight-sing. This tradition is democratic and egalitarian. We meet for the joy of singing together, rather than for performance. We’re an established group who meet every Friday, but we’re really keen to welcome some new members into the group and that’s why we’ve joined Meetup. All voices and all levels of experience are welcome.
We meet each Friday from 7 - 9 pm in the Robert Emmet Community Development Project, Usher St, Usher's Quay, Dublin: https://share.google/zNUTfZqGWoevnT8l4

All voices are welcome, all levels of experience are welcome. Newcomers and beginners are always welcome. We are an established singing group and so we will be singing regardless of how many attendees you see coming to this event :)
We sing from a book called The Sacred Harp, and we can loan you a copy to sing from. We sing as a group, take it in turns to choose the songs we'd like to sing, and take a tea break (very important!) around 20.00.
