Top: Society: Religion_and_Spirituality: Christianity: Music: Styles: Spirituals

Spirituals, traditionally called "Negro Spirituals" and occasionally in the U.S., "African-American Spirituals," were the traditional religious folk songs of the slaves. They were recreated as choral concert pieces around the turn of the century by the Fisk Singers, and have become firmly established in both hymnals and the concert repertoire.

Ensembles

This category is for musical groups that focus on concert performances of the spirituals.
