Music reviews of Southern Journey, Vol. 9: Harp Of A Thousand Strings - All Day Singing From The Sacred Harp

Music Review: Great introduction to an obscure folk music form
Rating: 5 Stars

I have been teaching shape note singing to my community chorus. The CD helped them understand what the music is like and how to sing it.

Description of Southern Journey, Vol. 9: Harp Of A Thousand Strings - All Day Singing From The Sacred Harp

If you had to choose just one Sacred Harp disc to own, this would be it. Volume 10 in the Southern Journey series may have more fuguing selections, but this is the best overall for its startling, briskly recorded stereo sound--no mean feat for a field recording from 1959! In addition to songs like "Cussetta," the always great "Weeping Mary," and "Montgomery," there are snippets of testimonials and confessions placed throughout. So you get to hear Harp singer Joyce Smith declare, "A lot of times a preacher will get up and preach and it don't seem like it has any effect on anybody. But you let a band of God's children get together and get to singing--people's gonna feel it." --Mike McGonigal
