Summary of This Book
This collection brings together fifty of the greatest spirituals and gospel songs, selected for their melodic strength, expressive power, and their essential place in the tradition.

You will find clear accompaniments, readable harmonies, and arrangements suited to vocal accompaniment, with particular attention to rhythmic support and the typical gospel phrasing.
