'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.
