THE plantation songs known as "spirituals” are the
spontaneous outbursts of intense religious fervor, and
had their origin chiefly in camp meetings, revivals and
other religious exercises. .

They were never “composed,” but sprang into life, ready
made, from the white heat of religious fervor during some
protracted meeting in camp or church, as the simple,
ecstatic utterance of wholly untutored minds, and are
practically the only music in America which meets the
scientific definition of Folk Song.

Success in singing these Folk Songs is Primarily depenr
dent upon deep spiritual feeling. The voice is not nearly
so important as the spirit; and then rhythm, for the
Negro’s soul is linked with rhythm, and it is an essential
characteristic of most all the Folk Songs.

It is a serious misconception of their meaning and value
to treat them as “ministrel” songs, or to try to make them
funny by a too literal attempt to imitate the manner of
the Negro in singing them, by swaying the body, clapping
the hands, or striving to make the peculiar inflections of
voice that are natural with the colored people. Their
worth is weakened unless they are done impressively, for
through all these songs there breathes a hope, a faith in
the ultimate justice and brotherhood of man. The cadences
of sorrow invariably turn to joy, and the message is ever
manifest that eventually deliverance from all that hinders
and oppresses the soul will come, and man—every man-—
will be free.
