About this arrangement

SKU: MN.90-52 Composed by Eileen Guenther. Book (not sheet music). MorningStar Music Publishers #90-52. Published by MorningStar Music Publishers (MN.90-52). UPC: 688670090523.This groundbreaking study of slavery and spirituals is the first to place the unique voices of an enslaved people squarely within the context of their daily lives. Dr. Guenther's deeply researched account weaves a succinct history of “America’s original sin” into an examination of the role of singing and religion in slave life and directly correlates slave testimonies—in their own words—to the themes of Spirituals. In addition to surveying the musical styles, performance practices, and melodic and rhythmic characteristics of spirituals, In Their Own Words includes a biblical concordance to 100 of the spirituals most frequently sung. Paperback.
