Members of Natl. Fasola.org
We are not a religious group, however - -
We will meet at the Faith La Fe Lutheran Church.
You can contact our group by sending an email to joyinsong@icloud.com or calling our host, Kathy at 480-296-3996.
Our thanks to this church for allowing us to use their lovely facility.
October 12, from 3 - 5 PM and singing school is the first 1/2 hour, 3 to 3:30.
Our first half hour will be devoted to learning how shape note music works and enjoying parts, principles and each other. We look forward to another fun sing. We had a great time with several new singers added. A great sound. Light refreshments will be served. A fun and accepting place.
Not a singer? No problem, just come to listen or learn.
We have loaner books so you can follow along. Get a peek into our historical past by reading along the lyrics that were so meaningful to those who first built this country.
Resources abound
Here are several sites and resources:
Fasola.org
Sacredharpbremen.org is a site that allows you to play just your part and learn songs. It is a German site but on the home page, click 'English" and then 'Lieder'. The songs are listed in numerical order. The parts are done robotically, still you can follow in the book and learn the part fairly easily. No book? Click on the link 'Notes' at the bottom of the parts player.
That will take you to the song as it appears in the Sacred Harp book.
