{"product_id":"protest-and-praise-sacred-music-of-black-religion","title":"Protest and Praise: Sacred Music of Black Religion","description":"Here is a skillful tracing of two tracks in the evolution of musical genres that have evolved from black religion. Songs of protest developed from the spiritual through social-gospel hymnody to culminate in songs of the civil-rights movement and the blues. Born in rebellion, they envision the Kingdom of God.\nSongs of praise, by contrast, express adoration. Beginning with the \"ring-shout,\" Spencer follows the history of intoned declamation through the tongue song,Holiness-Pentecostal music, and the chanted sermon of the black preacher. Spencer's approach, termed theomusicology, unlocks the wealth of African-American sacred music with a theological key. The result is a fascinating account of a people's struggle with God in history.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0800624041\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0800624041.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Spencer, Jon Michael\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
