Sacred Harp

Sacred Harp music is a form of a cappella, four-part, shape-note singing that originated in the American South in the early 19th century. It is a form of Protestant Christian music that is characterized by its use of open four-part harmony and its unique shape-note notation system. Sacred Harp music is often performed in large gatherings, with singers arranged in a hollow square formation. The music is typically loud and energetic, and the singing is often accompanied by clapping and foot-stomping. Sacred Harp music is still actively practiced today, and there are many annual Sacred Harp singing conventions held throughout the United States.
