Sacred Harp Singing
Sacred Harp Singing is an a capella musical tradition which originated in the American South in the 1800's among the rural churches, especially among the group known as Primitive Baptists, who never allow musical instruments in their worship services. Since many of the people could not read music, the notes were represented by open and solid squares, diamonds, triangles, and ovals. From this, the musical form also became known as shape-note singing.
Many of the songs were written by English composers and were brought to America by early settlers.
