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 glory in the powerful and joyful experience of singing our hearts out together.
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 Friary Centre, Cook Street, Dublin 8. https://maps.app.goo.gl/rfZaEQwC96L6PfSz7
