Hogan, Moses - The Oxford Book of Spirituals

A collection of 29 stylistically authentic spiritual arrangements for SATB choirs. The contents span the period from 1914 to 2001 and are ordered chronologically. Many of the best-known songs from the genre's most important composers and arrangers are included. The volume surveys the spiritual's entire range of themes and forms in a way that is at once stylistically authentic and historically meaningful. Piano reductions are included for unaccompanied songs.
