My Favorite Spirituals: 30 Songs for Voice and Piano

The media could not be loaded.

I received the book - I have enjoyed it, but the format is a little hard to follow - the songs are to broken up on too many pages.

This is a great book for finding the "old time" spirituals that are still right on time today. Great buy.

Roland Hayes was a courageous pioneer in a difficult time in history. He experienced a moment similar to Jesse Owens' in the 1936 Olympics -- but about 15 years before. To have this book of his arrangements of what he called Aframerican songs is a significant part of an understanding of Hayes and his work.

I have not used these yet, but I bought them because Roland Hayes was the premiere tenor of his day. He did quite well, despite the racist times. I am still investigating the interesting piano parts.

Thank you !!!
