Weds. Jan. 20: African-American Spirituals and Gospel
Posted by Judy Lane
Posted on January 17, 2021
Join UUSS Music Director Keith Atwater for “The Heart and Soul of Black/African-American Music – Spirituals & Gospel” at 7:00 p.m. this Wednesday online at uuss.org/online
Keith writes: Our gray 1993 UU hymnal and our teal 2000 UU songbook contain several outstanding examples of a very significant original American artform – the spirituals of enslaved African-Americans, the gospel music of contemporary churches, and some secular sources. We’ll listen deeply and examine closely the music and lyrics of this unique vocal/choral music, past and present.
Everyone is welcome to drop in any Wednesday night at 7:00 online, when Rev. Roger, Rev. Lucy, and Keith take turns hosting Wellspring Wednesday, a rotating program of learning, sharing, community building and fun. Newcomers and longtime UUSS members enjoy connecting through conversation about engaging topics.
