Spirituals were an intrinsic part of the African-American
plantation life and were sung at all important occasions and
events. This volume is the first index of African-American
spirituals to be published in more than half a century and will be
an important research tool for scholars and students of
African-American history and music. The first collection of slave
songs appeared in 1843, without musical notation, in a series of
three articles by a Methodist Church missionary identified simply
as "c." Collections that included musical notation began appearing
in the 1850s. The earliest book-length collection of spirituals
containing both lyrics and music was published in 1867 and entitled
Slave Songs of the United States. Not since the 1930s, with the
publication of the Index to Negro Spirituals by the Cleveland
Public Library, has an index of spirituals been compiled. The
spirituals are neatly organized in four indexes: a title index,
first line index, alternate title index and a topical index that
includes twenty major categories. A bibliography of indexed sources
serves as a guide for further research.
