  Sacred Music
Among the earliest was a Lutheran mainstream that emerged from the interaction of the hymn and chorale traditions of Central and North European Protestant immigrants in the mid and late nineteenth century.
Sacred music publishers, which flourished in Chicago, and religious schools have historically channeled the mainstream flowing through the city's sacred musical landscape.
Sacred musical practices in the ethnic church connected immigrants to the nation or region from which they came and therefore played an important role in maintaining ethnic identity.

 Dan Smail | In the Grip of Sacred History | The American Historical Review, 110.5 | The History Cooperative
Sacred history provided historians with at least three catastrophes—the expulsion from the Garden of Eden, the Universal Deluge, and the destruction of the Tower of Babel—that could be said to have returned humankind to a primitive condition.
A consequence of this approach was to exclude sacred history from the terrain of the secular historian, on the theory that no documents apart from the sacred writings carried by Noah had survived the flood.
History is concerned with the successive actions and fortunes of a community; in its broadest extent, with the experiences of the human family.

 Sacred Harp Singing: History and Tradition
Sacred Harp music is written in "shape notes," which resemble standard round notes in every respect except that the head of each note has one of four shapes to indicate its interval from the key (tonic) pitch.
Nevertheless, singing from The Sacred Harp continued to be popular in the rural South, where there evolved a tradition of all-day singings and 2- or 3-day conventions of "Fasola" music in simple one-room churches, with dinner on the grounds, the honoring of deceased relatives and friends in Memorial Lessons, and traditional Southern hospitality and fellowship.
The atmosphere of a Sacred Harp singing is basically one of community singing rather than choral singing, so there is usually little concern about the blending of voices or the perfection of the execution of the music.

The concept of sacred history does not apologize if the specifics are not an exact retelling of what happened, since it only strives to show God working in the lives of the chosen people.

 Sacred Harp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sacred Harp singing is a tradition of sacred choral music that took root in the Southern region of the United States.
However, Sacred Harp songs are quite different from "mainstream" Protestant hymns in their musical style: in texture they are polyphonic, and for harmony they employ a stark and robust style which emphasizes open fifths.
The two oldest surviving Sacred Harp singing conventions are the Chattahoochee Musical Convention (organized in Coweta County, Georgia in 1852), and the East Texas Sacred Harp Convention (organized as the East Texas Musical Convention in 1855).

 Zikkaron: Liturgical Remembrance and Sacred History
Any idea of history "as a secular, naturalistic, cause-and-effect process in which events are to be explained solely by the interplay of environment and geography on individual and social organisms" [Wright, 82] would be inconceivable to the biblical authors.
It is thus history with a purpose, and it is recorded in order that man may confess "his faith by reciting the formative events of his history as the redemptive handiwork of God" [Wright, 38].
The use of poetry as a method for recording the history of Israel's relationship with the Lord is important, because for the ancient Hebrews it alone could enable them to "express experiences met with in the course of their history in such a way as to make the past become absolutely present" [Von Rad, v.
