Questions for Kiri -
1) Does sacred-harp singing still use the same solfege system that starts with Fa? If so, why is it different than that taught in music theory today? If not, when and why was it changed?
2) How can one distinguish a sacred-harp singer from the North from a sacred-harp singer from the South? Is it the words that are used or the accent or something unique to sacred-harp singing?
Discussion Question -
Why is sacred-harp singing so inviting? Is there a way to make other musical groups as welcoming to newcomers as sacred-harp singing?
