Black History Trilogy #3: The Power & The Glory - Music of the Black Church

from Shawn Choi

Award-winning Broadway veteran Tina Fabrique (Ragtime, Bring in da’ Noise, Bring in da’ Funk, The Wiz, Bubbling Brown Sugar, Gospel at Colonus), pays homage to Gospel - spiritual music that was, and still is a staple of African-American life. Rooted in the solo and responsive church singing of the African-American South, Gospel originated from both Black and White musics of the 19th century; Black spirituals, slave songs, and white hymnody, emerging at the same time as ragtime, blues and jazz.
