| Oct 6, 2018 at 12:21 | comment | added | Kevin H | Shape notes were very common in gospel music in the 50s and 60s (Stamps Quartet days and such). The quartet members would learn to sing their parts on the old convention songs by using shape notes/solfege. As a Baptist church pianist, they are very familiar to me, but I've never seen them in any other genre so I guess I can see how they might be unfamiliar to many. It's an interesting technique indeed. | |
