Middlebury Shape-Note

OUTSIDE! Town Recreation Park Pavilion

Our shape-note singing continues a tradition dating back to the 1700s, when Justin Morgan, Jeremiah Ingalls and other itinerant singing masters spread this style of community singing. We sing from the Sacred Harp song book in 4-part harmony (treble, tenor, alto, bass), a cappella (without instruments). Free and open to all. middleburyshapenote@gmail.com
