This example of Sacred Harp or shape-note singing was recorded in Alabama in 1979. The first part of the song has no lyrics; the singers sing only the names of the notes.
The public radio documentary Sacred Harp Singing, from which this recording comes, includes additional recordings of songs and interviews as well as background music on Sacred Harp singing.
