Wed., 6/16 at 1pm: SHAPE-NOTE SINGING: ORIGINS & RESURGENCE with David Rosenberg
~ Shape-note singing was America's first music craze, and after two centuries, it is still going strong. It's called 'shape note' because the musical notes have distinctive shapes and names. Where did this music come from? How does it sound? Who sings it? This program will explain and demonstrate the social and spiritual appeal of shape-note singing.
~ David has been singing bass in shape-note groups for 12 years since he retired from teaching at Middlebury College. He is coordinator of the Middlebury Shape-Note Singers and chair of the 40th Vermont All-Day Sacred Harp Singing for March 2022.
