5.0 out of 5 starsShape Note Christmas Songs Beautifully Rendered
By Byron G. Burchett on August 5, 2009
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
This CD will bring great joy to you at Christmas. I love variety in my Christmas music; I don't want to hear the same things over and over. These shape note selections are not as well-known today as the more commercial stuff, but they were once some of the best-known Christmas and Advent songs, part of our nation's musical heritage. The songs have an edginess many find thrilling. Shape note/Sacred Harp arrangements are different from what is commonly used today: melody is sung by men and women(tenor line), with high and low harmony (treble & bass), and freqently a counter-melody (alto).The selections are lusciously arranged and performed a cappella by the Tudor Choir [...]. They were drawn from Karen Willard's compilation music/song book [...] entitled "An American Christmas Harp." Karen is a well-known SH singer in Seattle, which is also the home base of the Tudor Choir. The liner notes and accompanying booklet are first-rate, again thanks to Karen. I came to know of Karen, her book, and this CD because I also am a SH/shape note singer. Perhaps, after listening to these performances, you will be inspired to seek out a singing yourself.

5.0 out of 5 starsSplendid!
By Zebra on December 14, 2010
Format: Audio CD
This is one of my favorite Christmas CDs. It's hard to keep from tapping your foot as this choral group sings a selection of traditional carols from New England & Appalachia that most of us have probably not heard. This is pure vocal music....no musical instruments accompany the shapenote choir.

Shape notes are a music notation designed to facilitate congregational and community singing. The notation, introduced in 1801, became a popular teaching device in American singing schools.

It is absolutely splendid and I highly recommend purchasing this CD.

5.0 out of 5 starsAwesome
By cathairetic on March 2, 2014
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
I love the traditional shape-note singing but withlesser voices than that of The Tudor Choir it can sometimes get a little screechy or yelpy. That often adds to its charm but when trained voices clearly deliniate the intricate harmonies involved, the music becomes transcendant and we are lifted to great heights of enjoyment. There is nothing primitive about this performance. There's only one way to improve upon the experience: Get your own copy of The Southern Harmony or Kentucky Harmony or one of the other shape-note hymnals and sing along! Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 starsBeautifully sung by the Tudor Choir
By Anne Huckins on November 30, 2014
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
This collection of shape note Christmas songs is one of my favorites. Beautifully sung by the Tudor Choir, and the lyrics and notes give more insight into these lovely tunes. If you're a Sacred Harp singer, you've got to have this CD! If you're not familiar with the shape note tradition, this is a great introduction.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent vocal "traditional" music!
By Matthew G. West on February 22, 2014
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
This music is from another perspective, a totally different time in our country's development. It is sung by folks from the west coast (Seattle) and has a very joyous quality to it. A modern choir singing music from the early 1800's. A Capella.

By Roger Tory on January 28, 2015

Beautiful American shapenote carols sung in perfect form. Particularly noteworthy is the accompanying literature which elaborates on each piece. If you want a "new" Christmas CD buy this one!
