Easter Anthem by Original Sacred Harp Choir (1922)
CD 4, track 25
Day 3 of Before the Big Bang flip-sides: it’s “Easter Anthem” by the Original Sacred Harp Choir. The group recorded a total of eight sides at its ca. June 1922 session(s), and recent findings suggest the discs, very rare today, were self-funded. Notice the extraordinary label, depicting the four shape note system: “fa, sol, la, fa, sol, la, mi, fa” of the major scale.
