Me too. I’m going to start a Sacred Harp group in my community just as soon as our benevolent governor says we’re allowed to sing indoors again, unmasked.
Wonderful, thoughtful comments, great feeling for the joyous in this fabric of the internet. If the house and congress sang as this, all things great and small would be drawn to the well.

Wesleyan church I go to still sing like this. No instruments. No microphones. Pure voice. Only difference is we sing by the hymn written by Charles Wesley. But it sounds the same.
uh, what? haha im an athiest, never going back to religion. i just appreciate good music is all. also, thanks for talking about me like im some child who doesnt know what repent means or how to make their decisions. people like that are part of why i left church in the first place
As if being religious makes you a better person. Some of the kindest, most honest people I know have never set foot in a church & are not even remotely spiritual. Like you, I just like the sound of the singing although I'm Agnostic rather than Atheist. I got raised a Catholic as a kid.
Oh, sing me back home you fine Alabama singers. If only you were in Georgia! But that's perfectly fine as this type of singing seems to be best out of Alabama and from County Cork, Ireland the Mother of our South.
Whether or not the music originated in New England is irrelevant to the movie, which was set in the 1860's in the rural south, where it had become much more common. developed and acculturated than in the north and remains so today. So the film makers were not trying to 'pull one over" on anyone. They were in fact being technically accurate.
recently heard a BBC Radio 3 programme on this style of singing. it reminds me a little of the psalm singing in Gaelic-speaking parts of Scotland. lovely.
It actually came from Ireland and Scotland from the Scotch-Irish that left and moved here. As with all music, people took a little of this and a little of that and this is what they came up with.
Lovely music - full of spirit. Can someone tell me what is the significance of the motion they are making with their hands whilst singing? Thanks in advance.
Since there's no instrument made beat, this is just a way to keep the same beat throughout the entire song. You hit every second beat on the downward end of the hand movement ..... kinda like .... " Ohhhh YES my LORD ( the caps are the second beat )
Primitive Baptists sing this way. I can't speak for other groups. Most sacred harp singings that I've attended are mostly Primitive Baptists but with a good mix of folks from other orders.

They aren't supposed to be. There's 6 different parts being sung. The man is leading 3 part the woman the other. That's why they aren't synced up together.
My grandfather and grandma taught singing schools in Arkansas. They were from Alabama.
If I were only younger and of stronger voice, I would have loved to be there....
What’s best about this video other than the singing is the different cultures in this room all singing to god
If you sing Sacred Harp and are a good person, when you die you go to a place where ten million angels are singing it at full volume
This music beckoms us to the Lamb.
This is inspirational.
Normally I can't stand to listen to any vaguely religious music but something about this is just so satisfying to listen to
I think it is stunning and after seeing the film I just wanted to find this music.

This was sang at the funeral of a dear friend of mine. Im thankful to have found this.

This is the only song were im losing it each time.It is such a consolation!
You are not alone brother. God bless you and all who hear the father inside of them 🙏
Many different voices participating in something beautiful are like a sound version of a patchwork quilt.
"From grief and woe my soul shall fly, and I don't care to stay here long." When He calls, I'll gladly go! :) I hope to be singing this song as I go!
a men
AMEN!
i would love to see this singing in person at a church. I'll bet the Holy Spirit falls on the people every time!!
Yes Mam !!!
@@jeremypresley867 i would love to come to one of these churches some day. it's on my bucket list.
@@nanmari9362 absolutely, make a plan And goal, make it happen! God Bless

This is the most incredible thing ive ever heard
LOVE this! Reminds me of my Pawpaw, he use to sing like this!
im not religious. i just like the way they sing this.
repent, that means agree with God concerning right and wrong, come to Christ, and let him save you.
+Melinda Lemmon Perhaps the Spirit is drawing the person? Let the Spirit lead them.
You sure do know how to drive someone away from Jesus

Nach iongantach cho coltach 's a tha an t-adhradh àibheiseach seo ris na sailm sa Ghàidhlig?
Just wonderful.
fantastic!! Music is just great isn't it?? Man, sounds great ladies and gents! thanks for sharing!
...singing God's graces..nothing more exhilarating!!

H Lamar Thomas Thank you. More than you can imagine.
Moron lol this is colonial music from new England. Dont let a Hollywood film fool you, don't some research. You should be thanking the pilgrims lmfao!

Amazing.
..lift your voice to sing God's praise,,
I bet it's 100 degrees in that church, June 30th.

👍👍👍👍👍
change speed to 1.25, welcome!
what is the significance of the arm movements??? In the Cold Mountain movie everybody was keeping time like that...just wondering
oh ok.... thanx for the explanation.....love that kind of music
It's slightly slower than most other versions I've heard. Why is this?
It's preference.
You Joker it's the southern version
Matt what do ya mean by that 🤨
They just pitched it lower (i.e., sung in a different key). The leader usually sets the pitch.
🙌🏻
I can't find the movie version.
I found it straight away just by adding Cold Mountain to the search bar. There isn't a film sequence just the singing
RICH IN HISTORY THIS SINGING WOULD LOVE TO KNOW ITS ROOTS AND CULTURE SONGS CAME FROM COLD MOUNTAIN FILM
New England.
Thank the puritan pilgrims lol
What's the thing with the arm?
It’s to help stay in time
This is beautiful, I'm so glad it's up here. That said, it drive me nuts the way the two leaders hand movements are so out of sync with each other!!!
It just the way that the music moves them!
Well it's not about precision maybe thats why its so powerfull😉
Some body get these poor folks an air conditioner!!
The old folks fanning themselves makes it so much more aesthetic though
are these guys Baptists, pentecostals or.....?
Baptists :)
Timothy Freeman bb
+Timothy Freeman You know they have to be the old Baptists because none of them are doing the Holiness stomp and they don't have air conditioning.
moorek1967 😂😂😂
+moorek1967 As a former Southern Baptist, this is more than accurate. LOLOL
oi, great singin, as good as the welsh and the irish but I think that one on the right is trying ta practice her freestyle overhand stroke.
1:28 ...are we DISTURBING you ma'am? ugh
what branch of Christianity is this from?
It originated as a protestant thing
Primitive Baptists sing this way. I can't speak for other groups.

This sounds similar to Scottish Gaelic psalm singing. Maybe the style was brought to the Carolinas by Scottish immigrants?
No this is a colonial hymn from new England that they decided sounded good to put in the movie lmfao

they are not in sync
yankeydoodle101 so that makes it pretty and natural nothing is ever perfect
They aren't supposed to be. There's 6 different parts being sung. The man is leading 3 part the woman the other. That's why they aren't synced up together.
