Free Music Notes for Trav'ling Home - American Spirituals 1770-1870
Free Music Review: Delightful
Hit: 4 Stars
This very enjoyable CD is an anthology of notable American religous music from the end of the 18th century to approximately the end of the Civil War. It concentrates on the so-called shape note and related traditions. Drawn heavily from old hymnals and song books, this CD features a number of lovely pieces, including some by the remarkable Boston composer William Billings. Some pieces are presented in parallel with the secular songs and music used to develop the sacred music. Beautifully performed.
Trav'ling Home - American Spirituals 1770-1870 Poster
According to director Joel Cohen, American spirituals are "the untutored but vigorous religious music of Colonial America, and the rugged, folk-derived spiritual song of the countryside." It will be well worth your while to hear for yourself these musically rich, involving, and often exciting tunes from Southern shape-note songbooks, out-of-print hymnals, and other early manuscript sources. Don't miss this one. --David VernierClassical Music CDs
