"Saved by Song" returns to print with its sweeping overview of
the history of gospel music. Powerful and incisive, the book traces
contemporary Christianity and Christian music to the sixteenth
century and the Protestant Reformation after examining music in the
Bible and early church.
In America, gospel music has been divided between white and
black gospel. Within these divisions are further divisions:
southern gospel, contemporary Christian music, spirituals, and
hymns. Don Cusic has provided background and insight into the
developments of all these rich facets of gospel music. From the
psalms of the early Puritans through the hymns of Isaac Watts and
the social activism of the Wesleys, to the camp meeting songs of
the Kentucky Revival, the spirituals that came from the slave
culture, and the hymns from the great revival after the Civil War,
gospel music advanced through the nineteenth century. The twentieth
century brought the technologies of recordings and the electronic
media to gospel music.
"Saved by Song" is ultimately the definitive and complete
history of a uniquely American art form. It is a must for anyone
interested in the musical and spiritual life of a nation.
