"It is... already becoming difficult to obtain these songs," editor WILLIAM FRANCIS ALLEN (1830-1889) wrote in the Introduction to the 1867 first edition of this extraordinary collection of "negro" spirituals. With his fellow American abolitionists LUCY MCKIM GARRISON (1842-1877) and CHARLES PICKARD WARE (1849-1921), Allen gathered songs from the post-slavery communities of Port Royal, South Carolina, to create this first published collection of African-American music.
Among the 136 songs, included are:
"Roll, Jordan, roll"
"Blow your trumpet, Gabriel"
"The Lonesome Valley"
"There's a meeting here to-night"
"Hunting for the Lord"
"Rain fall and wet Becca Lawton"
"Jesus on the Waterside"
"Build a house in Paradise"
and many others.
A landmark work of music history, this is an essential text for anyone interested in American folk music.
