About the event

Cocoa Beach All-Day Shape Note Singing from The Sacred Harp (1991)
All are welcome to join us for this free event open to the public. No experience necessary. We will sing from The Sacred Harp, 1991 Edition (Denson); loaner books will be provided.

We'll have coffee & light breakfast available starting at 9:15am, a singing school starting at 9:30am, potluck dinner on the grounds mid-day, and singing until 3:00 pm.

We'll sing in the Fellowship Hall of the Lutheran Church of the Resurrection, at 525 Minutemen Causeway, Cocoa Beach, FL 32931. This is an accessible, air-conditioned space with ample parking, restrooms, and a kitchen with refrigerator, oven/microwave, and electrical outlets for your crockpot.

Shape note singing is an American a cappella tradition. Characterized by open 4-part harmonies and a powerful sound, shape note singing is music designed primarily for participation, rather than for performance. For more information about The Sacred Harp or shape note singing, visit fasola.org

Please contact Rachel Speer at 301.943.0515 or cmVzcGVlciB8IGdtYWlsICEgY29t with any questions, including requests for overnight hospitality.

A social will be held following the singing (~3:30pm-9pm) nearby with access to the beach, swimming pool, river boardwalk, air-conditioned clubhouse with showers, kitchen facilities for supper around 6pm and evening singing from other shape-note tunebooks; we'll have loaners available of the Valley Pocket Harmonist, Shenandoah Harmony, and Christian Harmony, and you're welcome to bring copies of anything else you'd like to sing.

Enjoy a full weekend of singing by heading to Micanopy the next day, Sunday, August 17th for the Sweetwater Monthly Singing, 3:30pm – 5:30pm on 3rd Sundays, at Church of the Mediator, 501 NE Cholokka Blvd, Micanopy, FL. Singing from The Sacred Harp, 1991 Edition (Denson).
