Ten Thousand Charms | Appalachian Assoc. of Sacred Harp Singers

This 2003 recording showcases 26 beloved selections from The Sacred Harp (1991 Edition), performed by a talented ensemble of 30 singers from Berea, Lexington, and Louisville, KY. Captured in the historic Union Church in Berea, the album was professionally recorded, mastered, and produced to ensure high-quality sound. The singing style leans toward a polished choral approach rather than the raw Appalachian tradition, making it an excellent introduction for newcomers to Sacred Harp music. Informative liner notes provide additional context, and as singer Bob Meek has noted, this recording serves as an accessible entry point for those who may find traditional field recordings unfamiliar.
