Скачать или смотреть Siloam from the Harmonia Sacra

Siloam is a song from the 19th Century Shapenote song book, recorded in 2006 at the Mauck Chapel singing in Hamburg, Va. As many conservative Mennonites were present, the photos with the video show the chapel and its surroundings but not the singers out of respect for their beliefs in regard to photography. The Harmonia Sacra is a shapenote tunebook that has been in use since the 1830s. Harmonia Sacra singing is one of a handful of 19th Century shapenote books that are in regular use by communities of singers across the United States.
