Summary:
Eight years of inspired work by a committee of more than 30 musicians
and pastors, all leaders in African American worship and gospel
music, have resulted in this compendium representing the common
repertoire of African American churches across the United States. For
the first time in an African American hymnal, traditional hymns and
songs are notated to reflect performance practices found in the oral
tradition of the black church in America. At a time when such
traditions are falling victim to modern technology, this book strives
to preserve this rich heritage for future generations. Presented are
litanies for Fifty-Two Sundays of Worshipful Celebration outlining
an African American church year, including such special days as
Martin Luther King Sunday, Elders Day, Mothers Day, and Mens Day.
Also included are 52 responsive scripture readings from the Old and
New Testaments and an extensive index that includes scriptural and
thematic cross-references.
