An old tradition that is alive and well in the Great Smoky Mountains, shape note or "Old Harp" singing blends a unique singing style with tunes from the old world. The technique was created around 1800 to instruct singers how to read music and improve congregational singing, but has held on as a spiritual practice and a time of fellowship for singers in the area.
