17th Annual Baylor Singing
Attention all Ladies of the Central Texas area:
Sacred Harp singing is a 160-year old southern folk hymn tradition that uses shape-note notation and “fa-sol-la” syllables. Named after the Sacred Harp, a tune book compiled in 1844 by B. F. White and E. J. King, Sacred Harp singing has recently been featured in the movie Cold Mountain. For newcomers, the Baylor sing will be preceded by a brief singing school at 9:30 a.m. Listeners are welcome, but most join in the singing! In Waco, the Seminary like the Baylor campus is visible from Interstate 35. For further information contact Dr. David W. Music at 254-710-2360 or David_Music@baylor.edu.
