Elm Ensemble: Life From Death is Jesus' Doing

The Elm Ensemble has published several more videos, this one being Life From Death is Jesus' Doing.

It's from the Southern Harmony, which is a hymn and tune book used for singing and teaching singing. Southern Harmony and Shape Note, which is the specific way that the notes are shaped to indicate which pitch they are on the scale.

Interestingly, it took two degrees, a 5-year stint in Germany, and returning to the U.S. before I'd ever heard of or sung anything from the Southern Harmony book or from a shape note hymnal.

We used modern notation (modern note shapes) for this one.
