Showers of Blessings: 195 Garden State Sacred Harp Convention | CD or Cassette

Experience the joy and energy of the 1995 Garden State Sacred Harp Singing Convention with Showers of Blessings, now available on both CD and cassette. This live recording captures the heartfelt voices of singers from across the Sacred Harp community, making it an excellent learning tool and sing-along companion for both new and experienced singers.

The 90-minute cassette features 36 songs, while the CD contains 33 songs, carefully selected to fit within the format. Recorded by Bill Houston, digitally remastered for CD by Brad Higgins, and produced by Jean Seiler, this collection preserves the spirit of a truly memorable convention. Among the selections are two special compositions not found in The Sacred Harp: "Windgate" and "Altamont", written by friends of the community and introduced at the convention. "Windgate" was particularly beloved, with lyrics inspired by the singings and the deep friendships formed through this music.

Proceeds from this release support Sacred Harp singings and projects. Note: Some CD players may have compatibility issues with the discs, but they play well in most standard players. Whether on cassette or CD, Showers of Blessings offers a stirring glimpse into the living tradition of Sacred Harp singing.
