Sacred Harp singing is the "original" folk music of the South. As the dogwoods bloom, the "hollow square" rings out with songs of rebirth and hope. A true southern tradition of renewal. #FolkloreThursday #SacredHarp #Folklore #Spring #Georgia

My Friend is moving soon, and she will sing tomorrow for the final time in Pittsburgh #SacredHarp.

I wrote a tune for her. Here's hoping it's a good surprise!

Ignore the typo, though 😉

Okay, y'all guess the tune, it's from the #SacredHarp

Introducing “Collins,” a new #shapenote music #typeface for “The Sacred Harp: 2025 Edition.” Designed by me @slantedhall in collaboration with the Sacred Harp Music Publishing Company.

And first shown at #CampFasola on 1 July 2025. Another talk to be given at “Revising the #SacredHarp Symposium” on 12 September 2025, day before the debut singing from the new edition.

Lovely to hear the interest and excitement from both the community and at @typecon #typedesign

"My music teacher offered twittering madrigals and something about how, in Italy, in Italy, the oranges hang on the tree. He treated me—the humiliation of it—as a soprano.
