Video duration: 332 seconds These four Sacred Harp songs ('Fulfillment,' 'Praise God,' 'I'll Seek His Blessing,' 'Fairfield') exhibit some of the salient charactistics often associated with this type of singing: a minor mode, primitive-sounding harmonies, and a heavily accented, driving rhythm. Singers are fervent and enthusiastic, and often beat the rhythm with their hands, and sometimes, with feet!
