Скачать или смотреть Gallery Talk - American Shape Note Singing

Join Sam Sommers, volunteer, as he presents a Gallery Talk titled "American Shape Note Singing." Shape notes are a musical notation designed to facilitate congregational and social singing. Shapes are added to the noteheads in written music to help singers find pitches within major and minor scales without the use of more complex information found in key signatures on the staff.

This Gallery Talk was presented at Ruthmere on Thursday, November 3rd, 2022.

Ruthmere presents Gallery Talks the first week of each month, which feature a twenty-minute discussion on an object/artwork within the Ruthmere collection or a person or event in local history. 2022 Gallery Talks are free and open to the public courtesy of the generous support of 1st Source Bank.
