My pawpaw taught shape note singing schools to church choirs for more than 60 years, til he was nearly 90. The church I grew up in sang by shape notes, my mom played piano to shape notes, and we could sing like this, too! It's a great way to learn to read music, it can be nearly instantly transposed, Idk why it seems to be a thing of the past. Pawpaw could take a choir that could barely carry a tune and turn them into sight reading fools in four part harmony in less than two weeks at an hour a night. I grew up on southern gospel, and it still holds a special place in my heart, love the Cathedrals, can't wait to sing with Glen and George in heaven!

I always thought shaped notes were a solution looking for a problem. Just as easy to learn conventional notation.
Love Glenn and George! So funny!
100 percent perfection!
Outstanding performance
Oh my goodness!! I went to Stamps Baxter as well! Good memories. ❤️
This is not Sacred Harp, in which you sing only four note songs written with special note heads using a square, diamond, oval, and triangle. But rather singing the note on the scale rather than the words.
This is great, and would be better without the instruments.

And even better if the whole thing was just summed to mono instead of having all the vocals on the right and all the music on the left while the piano is on the right and the quartet is on the left.
It’s solfeggio.

Its solfege, the French version with a fixed do, not solfeggio, the Italian version where do is moveable. It's also ti do (solfege), not si do (solfeggio).
Man had jokes eh?
I couldn't hear them for the banging piano. And it definitely wasn't a capella. What was the point?
That's not shape note music
Good grief, that rinky-tink piano ruins it. Why not do it acapella the way it's supposed to be...
NOT authentic.
