Shape Note singing has a tradition hundreds of years old, having taken root in America in the 18th century in New England, then slowly migrating down the spine of the Appalachian Mountains into the Deep South, where the tradition is very much alive today. Shape Note singing has returned to the continent, where ‘sings’ can be found in Ireland, Poland, Germany, France, Israel, Norway, and Sweden. It is appropriate for all ages.
