The first and only collection of its kind, "Sacred Symphony"
contains 100 transcriptions of muscial excerpts from the chanted
sermons of contemporary black preachers. In his introduction to the
pieces that follow, author John Michael Spencer argues that there
is an observable correlation between the chanted sermons of today's
black preachers and the antebellum spiritual. He shows that the
pieces collected here, each of which spontaneously evolved during
the course of a sermon or prayer service, are themselves spirituals
containing similar musical components--melody, rhythm, call and
response, counterpoint, harmony, form, and improvisation.
