This month's Third Friday Sing (Edinburgh 20 March) has been cancelled due to the virus risk. Stay safe and watch this space!

@LDNSacredHarp @NotationIsGreat It's the note values that I find intriguing. I assume it's sung very free time like this https://t.co/t5HX1GHbR2 but it's written very precisely

RT @flipdrivel: @bklynharuspex Nice. "Time, a taper guttering / Drops in a slow decay" reminds me of Watts's "Time, like an ever-rolling stream, / Bears all its sons away"

It's Common Meter and quite appropriate, so I invite my #shapenote composer friends to get on it

Turns out Shape Note singing is knackering! Nearly 30 songs, back to back, all in 2 hrs of singing. There was a tea break! Thanks for a brilliant introduction to this fantastic form of music in Glasgow last night. Heading back to Bute now. @ShapeNoteScot

MT @bodleianlibs: In 2013, a copy of the Bay Psalm Book sold at auction for $14,165,000, setting the record for a printed book. 11 copies of the first printing are known to still exist. We have digitized ours and posted it online. https://t.co/H3NzKqLNAI…
