 Singing has been an integral part of being human for thousands of years. Choirs, choruses, sing-alongs, spontaneous celebrations, grief rituals, and other expressions of the human experience continue to this day in old and new forms. In this podcast we explore how singing together remains a vital part of life. Through interviews with song leaders, academics, improvisers, gospel choirs, prison ministries, children's singers, and more we discuss some of the how to, the why, and the often surprising ways that group singing blooms throughout the world.  Stuart Stotts hosts these conversations, examining, reflecting, and hearing stories from those who are in the field, creating harmony and giving voice to anyone willing and able to join in.

    Shape Note Singing with Esther Morgan Ellis

    Esther Morgan-Ellis shares the joys and the structures of this old style of singing together. The exuberance of the practice is echoed in Esther's own enthusiasm for the power of this tradition.  Esther Morgan-Ellis is a historical musicologist who focuses on participatory musical traditions, especially community singing and old-time music-making. She has written extensively about the early twentieth-century American community singing movement. Her research also explores contemporary traditions such as Sacred Harp singing, hymn singing, and revivalist old-time music, examining how communities sustain and reshape these practices over time. As editor and lead author of the open-access textbook Resonances: Engaging Music in Its Cultural Context, she highlights musical traditions from around the world to show how music functions within diverse societies.

    Singing with Nightingales w/ Sam Lee

    Sam Lee is a British folk singer, song collector, and environmental activist who founded Singing with Nightingales, an immersive springtime series that brings audiences into the woods to experience live music in duet with nightingales.  A Mercury Prize–nominated artist and passionate nature conservationist, he uses this project to connect people more deeply with the natural world, blending traditional song, storytelling, and ecological awareness into a powerful shared experience.       What is the song of a Nightingale if not a celebration of life? An expression of the energy in the roots of Spring, coursing up through the earth, through the trunks of the blackthorn thickets, through the leaves, the blossoms, through the buzzing insects and the munching caterpillars, streaming at last through the syrinx of our little brown birds as they perch at the peak of the season. Sometimes it seems as if they sing the season into being, sometimes they are the season’s self.   It’s one of the reasons we come to the woods every spring – to learn how to sing praise like this, and to sing praise ourselves. The Nightingale has maybe forty years left in Britain. Myself and the SWN team are intent on making those years good ones.   https://www.singingwithnightingales.co.uk
