African American Music Festivals, 1938-1943 - Gospel Songs (2-Audio CD Set): African American Music Festivals 19381943 Gospel Songs 2Audio CD Set |
| Product Description : One form of music that has gained worldwide popularity is the Gospel - also called Negro Spirituals and Anthems. This endearing style of singing has found its way into the world?s best-known concert halls, homes and schools. It has also influenced other forms of music. Its impact on Jazz and the blues is pretty evident. Often used by slaves as a means of expressing their desire to gain freedom from the rigors of bondage and deprivation, Gospels carry an element of hope and reassurance. Although Negro Spirituals are in a way reminiscent of native African music, they have established an undeniably unique identity for themselves. So widespread is the acceptance of Gospels today, that they no longer remain a prerogative of Black Americans. Yet we owe a debt of gratitude to the plantation workers who gave the world this spiritually uplifting and vibrant form of expression. This set of CDs is a great example of how we could do this - by preserving these vintage musical masterpieces for the benefit of humanity. This is surely a treasure house of classical gospels and I am certain that all music lovers- regardless of their style preferences - will adore the music that a2zcds.com has done so well to preserve on CDs. |
