I stumbled upon this music a few years ago through the soundtrack for a film and I must say as an atheist I still found it deeply moving. I heard some scared harp music today on the radio in Australia and it made me remember the singing that I heard in Tonga 50 years ago; an odd connection. Is this possible? Did missionaries bring this style of singing to the Pacific islands? Does anyone know something about this?

I was reduced to tears the first time I heard this song. Very beautifully sung here ❤

I love this. Thanks for the post.

I’m so sorry you lost your babies. It’s a heartbreak only pet owners feel deeply, since they are family members. From your video, it’s absolutely apparent you loved both and gave them a life full of happiness. Westies wrap their paws around our hearts and don’t let go….ever. My Westie, Sophie (she’s still my thumbnail), died last September. One day, her back legs feel from beneath her, then the pain started. Two days later, we had to put-her-down….she was in agony from an agressive malignant tumor on her spine. Sophie was only 12. We were with here as she drifted away. Sophie was my daughter’s first dog, and hearing her cry broke my heart. I petted Sophie until the end, told her “how much we love you” and “you’ve been a wonderful part of our family.” I’m crying while typing. I still sleep w/ her favorite stuffed toy….some may think I’m crazy, but I don’t care. You took wonderful pictures of each baby. They knew you made them the center of your world, and would do anything to comfort them. I pray your pain eases with time. Sorry for the long post. Your video reminded me of my Sophie. I pray God blesses You and Your’s Greatly. Take care of yourself.

Sooo beautiful!

I love this video. You must live in the country. This looks like where I live in GA. Deer walk across my yard, but I have friends who hunt them, which I don't. Thanks for sharing.

I am very sorry for the loss of your special member of your family. My prayers will stay with you.

Dont let it die

We are the Haynes and Wooten family of Alabama and we sing at the family reunion every year.

I thought that the revival started with the folks in Chicago- Ted Mercer and Judy Hauff, and before the internet.

Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

Wonderful to see David and Clark again after so long.

Good stuff.

I love this kind of singing. I recently found my birth family, since I was adopted as an infant. Many of my blood relatives are probably in this very congregation, in the above video (my maternal blood line are from the Hickox/Lee/Strickland/Crews lines, in the Hoboken/Brantley/Ware county areas). Arthur David and Mary Dell Hickox were my maternal grandparents. When I look at the faces here, and hear these voices, my blood sings and I feel a part of myself in this. Thank you for posting this. Little by little, as I learn more about my origins, I feel more connected.

Magnificent !

I'm a cradle Catholic, but some of my ancestors on the Protestant/Evangelical side had Kentucky connections. Thanks to a librarian friend for taking me to a singing in Chicago during a conference several years ago

Same folks burned women alive for the crime of being a "witch" for fucks sake.

I learned Sacred Harp Music in Goshen Indiana in early 2000’s it’s still music 🎶 🎼 I love to hear

Powerful

Wonderful.

I cry when I hear Sacred Harp music, my precious mother loved this music and told of the many times in her youth she went to singings and we had the book in our house , I was more interested in rock music. How many times I rue the fact that I did not show interest in mama’s music. At seventy nine years old my eyes are full of tears listening to this video, good bye mama!

idk why u put this here but i like it :)

Are they still meeting? I live a few counties away and I'd like to hear it in person.

My grandfather taught this music in East Tennessee

this stirs my soul in a way it has never been before......

ua-cam.com/video/jpJ7wgGQcgk/v-deo.html I never knew what type of music this was called but i found it haunting but calming and intriguing. I can imagine how it would feel in a big echoey room

Look up Alan lomax wooten family. I didn't know it was sacred harp music.. Fascinating and haunting

This music is not part of my Catholic religious tradition, but I find it compelling and beautiful in its own way. Thank you for sharing this.

Yes, thank you Lord for Sacred Harp coming to the internet, otherwise I would never have known such beauty. Thanks to David Lee and co for working so hard to keep this going. From my Australian heart to all who sing this.

Time traveling

Does anyone know what the monitary value for a, The Sacred Harp by W.M. Cooper 's revised and improved version fifth edition printed and published in Dothan Alabama in 1909 ?

Inspiring video an Thank you for posting

love trees, where I live, the forest is so old, that it is protected by the UNESCO as one living fossil

One of my favourites. Who is singing?

That was nice, my family sings sacred harp. We are the Haynes family of Sand Mountain Alabama and we have had a reunion and singing for 118 years straight now. Thanks for the song.
