Sunday 25 May - Bells Corners Singing
David P Baril
The next Sacred Harp singing of the Ottawa Shape Note group is on, Sunday, May 25th in the music room of the Bells Corners United Church.
Doors open at 1:30 p.m. and we'll sing from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. with a break in the middle for tea and juice. (Bring your own cup!)
The first half hour of the session will provide more deliberate teaching with help to line out parts and teach newcomers the basics.
To see and hear an example of Sacred Harp singing, see this video clip. For more extensive information about the Sacred Harp tradition, see https://fasola.org. Another great resource is the Bremen Sacred Harp website (https://sacredharpbremen.org/) which has the sheet music and downloadable music files for each part of all of the Sacred Harp tunes.
Please bring your own mugs and any extra books you can lay your hands on. Donations to help cover the cost of the hall and extra books would be appreciated.
If you have any symptoms of respiratory infection or other communicable illness, please do not attend.
