Spirituals and Folk Hymns (1850-1870)

& 8220;

This is a recording about a surprising phenomenon: The vigorous survival, in the Northern part of the United States, of folk-inspired religious hymnody. It is well known that the "folk" element in American church music, after a start in eighteenth century New England, migrated South during the nineteenth century. In the South, shape-note hymn books like the Sacred Harp and the Southern Harmony, first published in mid-nineteenth century, have maintained, even into the present day, a style of folk-hymnody that was thought to have disappeared in the North. In the South, too, has flourished black people's congregational music, so powerful and compelling that the musical term "spiritual" has understandably but incorrectly come to mean "black religious music" for much of the general public. So the schema was supposed to be as follows: In the South, folk styles; in the North, politer church music that followed (or attempted to follow) the "rules." What a surprise, then, to find authentic, idiomatic folk hymns and spirituals in song books compiled and published in the North! For if it is mainly true that Northern hymnbooks of the nineteenth century contain for the most part academic, watered-down Victoriana, a few prints show that the other, more vigorous tradition was indeed alive in the Northern states.
