A New Perspective for the Use of Dialect in African American
Spirituals: History, Context, and Linguistics investigates the use
of the African American English (AAE) dialect in the musical genre
of the spiritual. Perfect for conductors and performers alike, this
book traces the history of the dialect, its use in early
performance practice, and the sociolinguistic impact of the AAE
dialect in the United States. Felicia Barber explores AAE's
development during the African Diaspora and its correlations with
Southern States White English (SSWE) and examines the dialect's
perception and how its weaponization has impacted the performance
of the genre itself. She provides a synopsis of research on the use
of dialect in spirituals from the past century through the analysis
of written scores, recordings, and research. She identifies common
elements of early performance practice and provides the
phonological and grammatical features identified in early practice.
This book contains practical guide for application of her findings
on ten popular spiritual texts using the International Phonetic
Alphabet (IPA). It concludes with insights by leading arrangers on
their use of AAE dialect as a part of the genre and practice.
