| Incorporating narration, singing, piano-playing, storytelling, sound effects and original and familiar background music 'LIFT EVERY VOICE & SING!: The Roots of Gospel Music' is a history lesson, a music lesson, a saga of courage and hope, and a tribute to the power of words. The story begins thousands of years ago among the Classical Afrikan Empires, and traces the growth of spirituals: their birth during captivity in the US; the fascinating tale of their use as coded messages on the Underground Railroad, and their transformation into gospel music.
The show also touches on the historic origins of members of Canada’s Afrikan population and the deep rooted connection to Afrikans in the US and Caribbean. Many myths that surround the diasporic Afrikan community in general are dispelled. Musical selections are rich and powerful ranging from a haunting solo voice to 12 part choral work with foot stomping percussion. 3 disc set. |
