American Negro Songs and Spirituals is a book that contains a comprehensive collection of 250 songs, both religious and secular, that are significant to the African American culture. The book is authored by John W. Work, a renowned musicologist, who compiled these songs from various sources, including field recordings, hymnals, and slave narratives. The songs in the book are arranged in different categories, such as work songs, love songs, and protest songs, among others. The book also includes historical background information on each song, providing insight into the cultural and social context in which they were created. The collection of songs is a testament to the rich musical heritage of African Americans and their contribution to American music. It is a valuable resource for music scholars, historians, and anyone interested in African American culture and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
