Great Smoky Mountains Heritage Center

Great Smoky Mountains Heritage Center Chapel
Townsend, Blount County, Tennessee
Saturday, November 19, 2016

All selections from New Harp of Columbia, Restored Edition, 2001.

Singing at the Great Smoky Mountains Heritage Center in Townsend TN November 19th, 2016. We had 4 basses, 4 altos, 4 trebles, and 6 leads (plus Jeremy Shipp's three young children, who understand very well that if you behave yourself you get taken to all sorts of cool places). For the first time, we sang in the church building behind the Center, not big enough to hold any more singers and audience than we had. We had an audience of about 20. Leads in the liturgical east facing altos, trebles in the south facing basses.

The church building is of great local historical interest. It was relocated to the Center from its original site near Old Sevierville Highway on the east side of Maryville near the present Asbury Place, built in 1910 as Wilders Chapel of the A.M.E. Zion Church (an African-American Methodist denomination).
