Middlebury Shape-Note Singing
Sunday, February 3, 1:00 to 3:00 PM
Mitchell Green Lounge, McCullough Student Center
Old Chapel Road, Middlebury College
Shape-Note music is a traditional early American style of community singing in 4-part, a capella harmony. We sing from The Sacred Harp, a tunebook in continuous print since 1844. "Sacred Harp" refers to the human voice.
The music is social and spiritual, joyous and soulful, powerful and moving, sublime and raucous, ancient and haunting.
Why do we sing? "People who sing together, breathe together. They share the same spirit." Heidi Champney
We sing in Mitchell Green Lounge, located on the top floor of the McCullough Student Center. It is accessible by stairs and elevator. Parking is available on Old Chapel Road and adjacent parking lots. Enter from Rte. 125/College St. or Rte. 30/S. Main St.
