shape note singing

[eutychus]

Anyone familiar with shape note singing?

Recently, I was introduced to the idea of shape note singing by Matt Hinton, who, with his wife Erica, made a documentary about the topic.

Awake My Soul is the name of the documentary. It's excellent, and thought-provoking.

I am familiar with it. I plan to get the churches in my area together and do a concert in the next 2 years...

Is that like FASolLa? or Sacred Harp singing?
