Songs, Hymns and Spirituals promises to be captivating as well as emotionally moving. It is a program for these
times; it is a program for everyone. Download brochure. Click here for more Special Projects

Songs, Hymns and Spirituals presents works from the rich musical heritage of
American culture. Folk songs from the Appalachian Mountains, songs from the
African-American tradition, settings of curious and inspirational poems by great
American poets, and straightforward traditional hymns interspersed with
sophisticated arrangements take the listener on a musical journey from the simple
to the sublime. A good portion of the program is devoted to the African-American
Spiritual, an art form which emerged from the adverse social and economic
conditions of enslavement.
