*Paul Clabo handed out a photocopy of all six verses to "Morality"
from The Good Old Songs (693) compiled by Elder C.H. Cayce, Cayce
Publishing Co., Thornton AR 1913, revised 1997. This is a widely used
hymnal in the "Stamps-Baxter" Aikin 7-note gospel tradition. In
addition to verse 1 from the New Harp of Columbia, we sang verses 4,5,
and 6:
4. For when age steals on me, and youth is no more,
And the moralist, Time. shakes his glass at my door,
What pleasure in beauty or wealth can I find?
My beauty, my wealth, is a sweet peace of mind.
5. That peace! I'll preserve it as pure as 'twas given,
Shall last in my bosom an earnest of heaven;
For virtue and wisdom can warm the cold scene,
And sixty can flourish as gay as sixteen.
6. And when I the burden of life shall have borne,
And death with his sickle shall cut the ripe corn,
Reascend to my God without murmur or sigh,
I'll bless the kind summons, and lie down and die.
The text, explicitly written by a woman, is by Hannah More 1813.
Hannah More (1745-1833) was an Anglican abolitionist educator.

Headrick Chapel, Sunday September 27th, 2009. The day was bright and
clear, after many days of heavy rain. (Thank you to the tent riggers,
who got the tent up just before the downpour the day before.) We sang
64 songs (including duplicates), probably a record, with a number of
songs we'd never sung before. The number of people present was rather
small, but we had more strong and proficient singers than we've heard
in many years - the treble section was probably the strongest I've
ever sung in.

There were approximately twenty singers. The day was clear and mild. Some
farmers were getting the first cutting of hay from their fields; we
wondered whether they had gotten any at all last year, for the drought.

On April 4th, 2009, thirty-three Old Harp singers gathered to
celebrate John Wright Dunn's arrival at the great singing square in
the heavens. 88 years old, a World War II Army veteran, and graduate
of Tennessee Wesleyan College, John Wright Dunn was one of the
dedicated singers who revived and preserved Old Harp singing in Blount
County. The Rev. Ken Abbott, an old friend of John's, officiated at
the funeral home
(see www.smithmortuary.com).
Paul Clabo led 87T Hightower, 139 Meditation (which John so often
led), and at the end 95 Parting Hand verses 1,2,9,10,11,12.

Here are the minutes from the weekend's Jubilee events - with a lot of
notes afterward. Please note my suggestion that we re-title "Laurel"
as "Laurel Arbor".

We sang at least six tunes we had never sung before, or sung only rarely.
[1] "Davisson's Retirement" was published by Ananias Davisson in 1820,
text by Joseph Grigg 1765 (according to Marion Hatchett's Companion to
the NHoC).
[2] 157 Creation was very ably sung by the Roane State Community
College concert choir, directed by Brenda Luggie.
[3] Laurel is a new composition by the composition class of the
singing school led by Randy Weber at the Laurel Theater, the day
before the singing. Because Christian Harmony (Carolina) 179 is titled
"Laurell", and J.L. White Sacred Harp (1911, recently republished) 507
is titled "Laurel Hill", I suggest we amend this title to "Laurel
Arbor", in reference to singing in "brush arbors" as described by
Robin Goddard in her account of singing in the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park.
[4] Russia appears in four-note notation in Sacred Harp 107; tune by
Daniel Read 1786, text by Isaac Watts 1707. The version from which we
sang was set up in Swan seven-note shapes by Karen Willard. Randy
Weber notes that she has raised the sixth notes ("Dorian") which
apparently does not appear in any published edition.
[5] Pleyel's Hymn (second) - (rimes with "dial") appears, tune and
text, in Sacred Harp 143 as "Pleyel's Hymn (first)".
[6] 101 Winter was very ably sung by the Roane State Community College
concert choir, directed by Brenda Luggie.
A singing school was held at the Laurel Theater on Saturday, March
21st, 2009, the day before the singing. Kathleen Mavournin and Tina
Becker led the school together; Kathleen had led several singing
schools previously, while it was Tina's first. About twenty people
attended the "upstairs session" - roughly half of them complete
beginners - while "downstairs" there were four advanced classes. Steve
Stone led four difficult tunes, 127 The Rock, 46 Concord, 74 Never
Part Again, and 178B Invitation. David Sarten talked about the history
of Old Harp singing, and its importance in maintaining local heritage.
Robin Goddard gave an extensively researched presentation on harp
singing in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Randy Weber led a
class on composition, which led to the class actually harmonizing a
tune "Laurel" (which as I noted above had probably better be called
"Laurel Arbor"). And Chaz Barber led a class on leading.
Robin Goddard noted that four tune books are recorded as having been
used in the Park: the Harp/New Harp of Columbia, Caldwell's Union
Harmony, Knoxville Harmony, and Tennessee Harmony (as well as
Christian Harmony, which was used in the North Carolina part of the
Park around Cataloochee).
I found that the Hoskins rare book library at the University of
Tennessee has the Union Harmony, Knoxville Harmony, and Tennessee
Harmony.

Headrick Chapel, Sunday September 28th, 2008
The singing was quite an extraordinary one, with many visiting singers
from Indiana, Kentucky, the Carolinas, Georgia, and Alabama - in
addition to the many singers from Tennessee!
Bruce Wheeler once again was the moderator. Tina Becker noted: Many
thanks to Ann Strange and Eddie Mash for organizing it, and to
Virginia Douglas and Robin Goddard for organizing the Dinner On The
Grounds.
Before dinner Robin Goddard counted 65 singers and 17
observers/visitors. After dinner she counted 78 singers and 32
visitors who were also singing at times. So the count is approximately
70-80 singers and 20-30 observers during the day.

Headrick Chapel, Sunday September 27th, 2009. The day was bright and
clear, after many days of heavy rain. (Thank you to the tent riggers,
who got the tent up just before the downpour the day before.) We sang
64 songs (including duplicates), probably a record, with a number of
songs we'd never sung before. The number of people present was rather
small, but we had more strong and proficient singers than we've heard
in many years - the treble section was probably the strongest I've
ever sung in.

wondered whether they had gotten any at all last year, for the drought.

On April 4th, 2009, thirty-three Old Harp singers gathered to
celebrate John Wright Dunn's arrival at the great singing square in
the heavens. 88 years old, a World War II Army veteran, and graduate
of Tennessee Wesleyan College, John Wright Dunn was one of the
dedicated singers who revived and preserved Old Harp singing in Blount
County. The Rev. Ken Abbott, an old friend of John's, officiated at
the funeral home
(see www.smithmortuary.com).
Paul Clabo led 87T Hightower, 139 Meditation (which John so often
led), and at the end 95 Parting Hand verses 1,2,9,10,11,12.

Here are the minutes from the weekend's Jubilee events - with a lot of
notes afterward. Please note my suggestion that we re-title "Laurel"
as "Laurel Arbor".

We sang at least six tunes we had never sung before, or sung only rarely.
[1] "Davisson's Retirement" was published by Ananias Davisson in 1820,
text by Joseph Grigg 1765 (according to Marion Hatchett's Companion to
the NHoC).
[2] 157 Creation was very ably sung by the Roane State Community
College concert choir, directed by Brenda Luggie.
[3] Laurel is a new composition by the composition class of the
singing school led by Randy Weber at the Laurel Theater, the day
before the singing. Because Christian Harmony (Carolina) 179 is titled
"Laurell", and J.L. White Sacred Harp (1911, recently republished) 507
is titled "Laurel Hill", I suggest we amend this title to "Laurel
Arbor", in reference to singing in "brush arbors" as described by
Robin Goddard in her account of singing in the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park.
[4] Russia appears in four-note notation in Sacred Harp 107; tune by
Daniel Read 1786, text by Isaac Watts 1707. The version from which we
sang was set up in Swan seven-note shapes by Karen Willard. Randy
Weber notes that she has raised the sixth notes ("Dorian") which
apparently does not appear in any published edition.
[5] Pleyel's Hymn (second) - (rimes with "dial") appears, tune and
text, in Sacred Harp 143 as "Pleyel's Hymn (first)".
[6] 101 Winter was very ably sung by the Roane State Community College
concert choir, directed by Brenda Luggie.
A singing school was held at the Laurel Theater on Saturday, March
21st, 2009, the day before the singing. Kathleen Mavournin and Tina
Becker led the school together; Kathleen had led several singing
schools previously, while it was Tina's first. About twenty people
attended the "upstairs session" - roughly half of them complete
beginners - while "downstairs" there were four advanced classes. Steve
Stone led four difficult tunes, 127 The Rock, 46 Concord, 74 Never
Part Again, and 178B Invitation. David Sarten talked about the history
of Old Harp singing, and its importance in maintaining local heritage.
Robin Goddard gave an extensively researched presentation on harp
singing in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Randy Weber led a
class on composition, which led to the class actually harmonizing a
tune "Laurel" (which as I noted above had probably better be called
"Laurel Arbor"). And Chaz Barber led a class on leading.
Robin Goddard noted that four tune books are recorded as having been
used in the Park: the Harp/New Harp of Columbia, Caldwell's Union
Harmony, Knoxville Harmony, and Tennessee Harmony (as well as
Christian Harmony, which was used in the North Carolina part of the
Park around Cataloochee).
I found that the Hoskins rare book library at the University of
Tennessee has the Union Harmony, Knoxville Harmony, and Tennessee
Harmony.

Headrick Chapel, Sunday September 28th, 2008
The singing was quite an extraordinary one, with many visiting singers
from Indiana, Kentucky, the Carolinas, Georgia, and Alabama - in
addition to the many singers from Tennessee!
Bruce Wheeler once again was the moderator. Tina Becker noted: Many
thanks to Ann Strange and Eddie Mash for organizing it, and to
Virginia Douglas and Robin Goddard for organizing the Dinner On The
Grounds.
Before dinner Robin Goddard counted 65 singers and 17
observers/visitors. After dinner she counted 78 singers and 32
visitors who were also singing at times. So the count is approximately
70-80 singers and 20-30 observers during the day.

On Tuesday, Jan. 15th from 4:30 to 6PM at the Music Road Hotel and Convention Center in Pigeon Forge, we had 28 singers and hundreds in the audience. We sang in the HARP Room, and the program was a part of Wilderness Wildlife Week. (Were we invited because we represent some kind of wildlife??) David Sarten, moderator, took at least a dozen questions and requests for tunes, from an interested and attentive group.
