DAMARISCOTTA — The fourth Sunday Damariscotta area sacred harp singing will be held on Sunday at the home of Corrone and Ruth Ann Bryant at 552 Main St.
Participants will sing from 2 to 5 p.m. Sacred harp singing experience is not necessary to take part. This is a free participatory event, not a performance.
The singing is primarily from the “The Sacred Harp,” a shapenote tunebook that has been in continuous publication with periodic revisions since 1844. The music consists of hymns, fuging tunes, anthems and other songs in a style rooted in Colonial New England, popular in Maine up until the Civil War and in areas of the rural South and West up to the present day.
There will be a potluck supper following the singing so please bring a dish to share.
Call the Bryants at 563-6083 or email singing@mainesacredharp.org with any questions.
