I'm Going to Sing: Black American Spirituals, Volume Two
Twenty-five spirituals are presented with notation and words for singing aloud and, possibly, playing on a C recorder or any other melodic instrument. Full and double page block printings visualize and expand these musical testimonies to the "genius of the enslaved Blacks that allowed them to remain human and creative through adversity." Bryan's five-page commentary on the sources, history and nature of spirituals is an invaluable part of this companion volume to his other splendid collection of spirituals Walk Together Children. ©1982 Cooperative Children's Book Center
