[QUOTE="Willing Spirit, post: 66105044, member: 295899"] A cappella psalm singing has been sung in some very different styles of music, and was brought to North America in differing forms. Sacred Harp is specifically descended from a type of rural church singing from England called West Gallery, though it did absorb other influences (such as American camp meeting tunes). There are many examples of West Gallery singing on You Tube for comparison. It's similar in style to Sacred Harp, but one key difference is that it is usually accompanied by musical instruments (though sometimes sung a cappella). Another difference is Sacred Harp has a more rough on the edges quality, while West Gallery sounds closer to medieval church music. While Sacred Harp tends to be associated with white people of European ancestry, it was also picked up by African Americans who put their own distinctive twist on the style. Here is an example of this by the Wiregrass Sacred Harp singers: [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8BpYhCn8uY]Wiregrass Sacred Harp Singers ⢠Prayer/Come To Jesus Now (1980) - YouTube[/url] [/QUOTE]
