Shape-note Singing
Submitted by aspace on 23 December 2007 - 5:12pm.Shape-note Singing
Every 4th Thursday from 7:30-9:30
Shape-note singing is a tradition of sacred music originating in the American South in the early 19th century. It is for the singers' enjoyment, not for performance; many shape-note enthusiasts have said they would cross the country to sing it, but would not cross the street to listen to it.
Singers arrange themselves in four sections facing each other in a square and sing parts from a book called The Sacred Harp. The book features a unique notation in which each note head has one of four shapes, hence the name. Each shape corresponds to a solfeg syllable: fa, so, la, or mi. The method was originally intended as a tool for teaching music, but it is not necessary to learn the method if you can read music a little or follow the singers next to you.

8:30 The Saddest Music in the World
During the Great Depression, beer baroness Lady Port-Huntley (Isabella Rossellini) offers a $25,000 prize to the composer who can write the saddest music in the world. Musicians from around the globe travel to Winnipeg to vie for the cash, including a failed Broadway producer, a cellist just returned from postwar Serbia and a bereaved father wracked with guilt over the accidental amputation of the legs of his one true love.
