This is none other than an extension of the Book of Lamentation. There's no other place on earth where people were enslaved that could sing religious songs to their Creator other than Black Americans and the Hebrews taken into captivity during Jeremiah's days. The two situations are almost identical. In both instances, their captors or enslavers required them to sing hymns, the latter being recorded and preserved just like in the Bible. God has a way of bringing darkness to light. He never forget His chosen people.

In our Hymnbook back in the 1960's, we had a full section of dozens of songs entitled 'Negro Spirituals'. That was in the Church of God (Headquarters in Anderson, Indiana). They were always some of my favorite hymns for us to sing. I wish unbelievers would realize that people who have been born again from the Spirit of God (not neccesarily all those who claim to be Christian) see other believers no matter the color, as one body. We may worship in different church buildings, usually do to different music and preaching styles, but we come together on special occasions. We had another body in the same denomination a few miles away, and we would get together for Sunday afternoons / evenings to sing and worship.

During the Harlem Renaissance W.E.B Dubois and others made an effort to re-discover Spirituals and not only have them arranged and performed as classical music, but to also get African American classical composers create symphonic works with the folk music of African Americans. They believed that although this music sprung from the hearts and throats of a people who station in life was quite low the music they created was no less than that of Mozart and should be heard on the same stages and by the same audiences.

Africa? The Negro Spiritual came from Scotland, which was called precenting the line, who in turn got it from England. Scottish folk who migrated to America brought the singing style with them, which they passed on to their African slaves. It then became the Negro Spiritual. www.urbancusp.com/2014/09/lined-hymn-african-american-vocal-tradition/ www.scotsman.com/lifestyle/black-america-s-musical-links-to-scotland-1-465474 Obviously, African music has influenced African-American music.

the point here my friend its how the slaves have such influenced the music in America ant most of them were not recognized , their music were simply stolen by the white people . not demoralizing the europeans because we owe a lot to their music , but its really strange The Negro Spirituails as you said come from Scotland , cause the name "Negro" is similar the "black" , and Spirituals the religion. so yes, i read about this kind of music and I presume the african people have created it , but there's possibility the africans got it from the Scotland , because they had "the capella" and all this similar stuff ..

The song is clearly an expression of pain and despair as it conveys the hopelessness of a child who has been torn from their parents. Under one interpretation, the repetitive singing of the word "sometimes" offers a measure of hope, as it suggests that at least "sometimes" I do not feel like a motherless child.[3] Although the plaintive words can be interpreted literally, they might alternatively be metaphoric. The “motherless child” could be a slave separated from and yearning for his or her African homeland, his or her spouse, parents, siblings or child(ren) (from all or any of which he or she may have been separated in the trafficking process) or a slave suffering “a long ways from home”-home being heaven-or most likely all.There can be no forgivenless...Ever!

Your post caught my eye. I hope I am not out of line but this video and your comments just filled my heart. I am Irish and our songs are similar. They were songs to help the Irish endure an inescapable life of presecution, poverty and death. Although my skin is white my history is that of genocide by the hand of the English. I always had a longing to go to Ireland to see where I came from. When I finally did go there I understood so much more.. The orphanages in Ireland have hundreds if not thousands of Irish children buried under the grasses of the estates. These were run by nuns and priests. My ancestors escaped the famine and war of Ireland and came to the USA to find the Colonial establishments here with signs that said NO IRISH ALLOWED. They walked into the hills and lived with the native people for decades. The English did not consider the Irish as equal even though we all had white skin. They tore our towns into rubble, created poverty and famine, killed the parents and the orphans left behind. In the Western British Isles the Elite ruling class were killing and destroying the Irish. In West Africa the Elite African leadership were selling the poor Blacks to the slaveships. After hundreds of years nothing has changed. The Elite now wave this banner to the oppressed. "We will help you and house you, educate you and give you Healthcare". As they use the poor for service jobs and tax us into poverty and reduce us to hate each other. Sad to see this continue today, the same human trafficking is going on by the Global Elite. They are once again culling the poor. Instead of overtly rounding them up by the military they are being told they will have a better life in America and the handlers are all being paid to traffic them here. Those who come here on that journey are being raped and killed along the way. Babies are being sold for their organs and children are being stolen from their parents. There is nothing new under the sun. It isn't the color of our skin. It is the greed and the need to keep us from understanding it is Eugenics.

I honestly have a lot of reservations about a number of these songs being westernized and sung outside of their cultural context... so many of these songs are prayers, so many of them are about freedom and about escaping to that elusive aim. If I had to listen to a whole class of kids sing something like Liddy I'd probably have to leave. Same with many native songs... those with deep spiritual meaning and cultural context shouldn't be removed from those contexts by outsiders.

Oh I wish I had a songbook like this!

All HBCU choirs sing this way; any former college student knows this. Reason being, all of the colleges started for emancipated slaves were not only started by white abolitionists, but named after them also. The white abolitionist used the voice of black singer to raise money for their schools. For a matter of fact, the majority of the black choirs' audiences were rich white contributors. This is why white folk love to hear blacks entertain them. As long as we're singing a sad song they will gladly listen. They also love to brag about the inferior condition they held blacks in for so many centuries. They don't want to hear the songs sung in the way they were sung in the cotton fields; they want to stroke their ego while at the same time being entertained. You will be equally shocked to hear some African choir sing in the same opera-style as their oppressors. Many do not realize that abolitionists were not our friends; they were puritans whose religious conviction was that all men should be free, but they never considered blacks their equals or dare give us the opportunity to be on a level playing field. This is why we need to reclaim our culture and began to publish true expression of our slave songs. One thing they always mess up in these documentaries is refusing to admit that slaves are the descendants of the Ancient Hebrew, we are not singing Christianity's song we're sing or ancestor's songs. Kum Ba Yah is one of them, but none of the experts will admit that slaves were singing Hebrew when that came off of the slave ships.

The strength the Holy Spirit gives is what got them through slavery. The Bible teaches that it is wrong to steal, as that is what slavery essentially is. It is also wrong to abuse your fellow man.

@@fuckoff81747 The law in Exodus isn't laws "permitting" people. It is case law or a ruling by a judge. The ruling in verse 20 basically states that the "state" can't punish the owner of the enslaved person with death because the slave didn't die. But keep in mind the law also states that the enslaved person can go free if there is evidence of abuse. Was slavery in those times? yes. But rulings regulated it so that kidnapping, abuse, and murder in terms of enslaved people were illegal. one could only buy a slave that sold themselves into slavery, or one could get their slaves as a result of a nation losing a war. The only negative you can find in the case laws is the bias against foreign enslaved people and native enslaved Hebrews.

That description is in the Bible: "man stealers." But the Bible clearly limits the time of slavery, 7 years, and requires the slave be provided with supplies (idk, a flock, food, tools?) at his release. Imo, the guilt should be placed upon the preachers in slave states. Certainly they preached to the owners; should have preached to "let my people go!" after their 7 years ended. And certainly to honor the family structure, to release the wife and children of the freed slave. But remember, there is still slavery in the Middle East and in Africa. The movie, Blood (or Black) Diamonds, which documented drugged children (boys only). Let's unite as honest Americans, to stop bullying and oppression and child sex trafficking.

That's how they were raised. At least they acknowledged that these are songs created by African people taken as slaves.

Yes, they were white. Well to do white people from the North. They were also abolitionists who, recognizing the evil of slavery were committed to freeing the people held in bondage. Once the war began, they left their comfortable homes and went to the islands off the Carolinas to assist the newly freed people in their transition. While there, they compiled and transcribed this collection of works, preserving them for history. I don't feel they claimed credit for the music. I think they recognized the beauty, pain and humanity of the music and were inspired to preserve and share it. I'm proud of the fact that my Great-Grandfather and his brother, Canadians by birth and Scots by descent, joined the Union Army early in the war between the States.

Those songs didn't come from Europeans. They lied to you. The only thing the French, Belgium and English brought to Africa was destruction. They sliced up Africa like a pie and began stealing all of their resources. Today, they bribe the scary leaders in Africa and keep it in a perpetual state of poverty. Belgium stole all of the rubber out of the Congo. They would cut off CHILDREN's arms and hands if the quota wasn't reached. Always do your own research.

Por favor, ative as legendas!

In some amazing way, these songs find a familiarity within my being. Therefore they must have their origins in ancientness.

Listen to James Abbington’s choir. Many of the songs are done in the “white church” style. Some of the African American churches have the best dressed choirs, the ushers dressed to the nines always with white gloves. Check out the convocations of the COGIC! Blessed
