I really enjoy and derive such benefit from spirituals BUT feel polluted when they are set for white ears (four-part harmony, all voices singing the same words at the same time).

Are there singing groups that perform spirituals in a way that *isn't* arranged for whites?

The rabbit holes that I love to follow are often started by someone -a friend, a random post- suggesting something new. Or familiar. This is both.
Enjoy!

ps. This rabbit hole started when someone posted a video of Bonnie Rait and Richard Cantrememberhisname… this song has nothing to do with that song.

To mark the Yuletide season, 'Bringing in the Sheaves,' my multimedia essay on the three brothers who make gospel music hum in Chennai, originally published in Serenade magazine in 2023, has been republished on Medium

The essay also contains an overview of #gospelmusic, including its origins

@mason I have a soft spot for deceptively simple harmonies like this: early #spirituals, #shanties, #ShapeSinging, etc.

oof. right in the guts.
