In addition to surveying the musical styles, performance practices, and melodic and rhythmic characteristics of Spirituals, Dr. Guenther's account weaves a succinct history of slavery in America into the role of singing and religion in the lives of the enslaved. This book directly correlates slave narratives and interviews to the themes of Spirituals and the times and places that gave birth to them. With this indispensable context for the informed interpretation of Spirituals in concerts and worship services, performers, conductors, and listeners will be motivated to look anew to Spirituals for encouragement and inspiration today--Publisher's description. 541 1 $c Gift; $a Ann Howard Jones; $d 2021. $5 IaU 650 0 $a Spirituals (Songs) $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Slavery $z United States $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Slavery $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History. 650 6 $a Noirs ameÌricains $x Histoire. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0353008 650 7 $a African Americans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799558 650 7 $a African Americans $x Music. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799648 650 7 $a Slavery. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120426 650 7 $a Slavery $x Songs and music. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01426631 650 7 $a Spirituals (Songs) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01130204 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Jones, Ann Elizabeth Howard, $e donor. $5 IaU 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117030523.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8EA0F19E664511EDB99D19AA23ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
