Ipplepen Shape Note Singing, 28 May 2019

19 songs were sung, from The Sacred Harp (Denson 1991) (SH) and Shenandoah Harmony (Shen H). We sang in the church this time, and enjoyed more non-Crumbly biscuits.

Hugh Came, (Welcome, Hugh!) SH 45t, New Britain
Nadia, Shen H 35, The Rose Tree

Martin, Shen H 247, Crumbly (we discover the hard way that different printings of the book have the repeat marks in different places)

Jeremy, Shen H 156, Female Convict (a tearjerker)
Nadia, Shen H 309, Overton
