Oglethorpe University presents Come Away to the Skies: A High Lonesome Bluegrass Mass

As Come Away to the Skies: A High, Lonesome Mass invites you into the singing of these timeless hymns, place yourself musically into a time when a singing experience paid little attention to the length of time of a service, but rather, invited you to enjoy community and extended gathering time through the learning of songs in singing schools, through shaped notes, and occasionally through days and even weeks of religious services. There is nothing nostalgic, however, about the poignancy and integrity of text and tune on which this collection is based.
