Article "Sabbath Glee Club Gives Good Program"
Dublin Core
Title
Article "Sabbath Glee Club Gives Good Program"
Description
This article discusses the popularity of "Negro spirituals" in the US and abroad. The Sabbath Glee Club, presumably either a black choir brought in to perform for the white audience, or a white University Glee Club appropriating this music, performed these songs. The article notes that "Only recently have these spirituals been recognized as a type of music quite unique and worthy of use by the best composers. By their excellent Interpretation the negroes have themselves brought about this recognition and gained for their songs a lasting fame thru the work of Dvorak." The language used to describe the event illustrates both a sense of paternalism and ignores the long history of this song style, tying back to the era of enslavement.
