jerpic rated 5 months ago- A very cool look into the Sacred Harp tradition of the American South. This is one of my favorite types of music. It is haunting and beautiful.

- Awake, My Soul: The Story of the Sacred Harp' is the first feature documentary about Sacred Harp singing, a haunting form of a cappella, shape note hymn singing with deep roots in the American south. Shape note singing has survived over 200 years tucked away from notice in the rural deep south, where in old country churches, singers break open 'The Sacred Harp', a 160 year old shape note hymnal which has preserved these fiercely beautiful songs which are some of the oldest in America. The human voice is a wondrous musical instrument.
