:) I enjoyed listening to that - although it certainly was much more modern in
harmony than the original. Dispersed harmony is different.
I particularly enjoy the pieces by Billings and Read and others of that era.
Singing Sacred Harp is as close as I can get to "church" now - and that's because I
love to sing and these songs have harmonies and rhythms that speak to me. I cannot
usually be comfortable with the theology, that's for sure.
