saturday evening shape note singing

arrangements for the singers lapels

Looking for something neat to do this Saturday night? Hannah H., Ally T. and Flip will be part of this event:

Here's a unique way to observe the Halloween season. On November 3, at 7pm, Vocal Skies will present a short concert of shape note songs. The selections come from The Sacred Harp, a collection of old and new songs written in the American shape note tradition of a-capella, four-part harmony. In observance of Halloween and the Day of the Dead, the singers have assembled a set on the theme of death, written between the 17th and 19th centuries. Come enjoy a contemplative, musical evening in historic Herring Cole on the St. Lawrence campus.  The program is free and runs around 45 minutes.  Herring-Cole is the neat old stone building roughly between Richardson Hall and University Avenue. If you walk up University Ave from Park St, it will be on your right, mid-hill.

We'd love to have you join us.
