“FaSoLa Minutes” is an app for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets that offers new ways to view and search the minutes of Sacred Harp singings from The Sacred Harp: 1991 Edition since 1995. Singers can use the app to identify the song that’s been stuck in your head all morning, to learn more about the favorite songs of your singing friends, to read up on a singing you hope to attend, decide on a song to lead when the one you were planning on singing has already been used, and much more. Scholars can use the “FaSoLa Minutes” app to identify shifts in the makeup of singings, popularity of songs, and participation of individuals in this music culture. The app is available in the App Store and on Google Play for $4.99 (proceeds benefit SHMHA). SHMHA hosts a more limited web-based interface for browsing Sacred Harp minutes data.
