Institution:

Rowan College South Jersey Cumberland Campus

Subject:

Description:

The Gospel Choir is an introduction to the gospel genre with its solid African roots which utilizes a call and response melodic approach. We also incorporate the Western traditions of harmony and lyrics as musical expressions of a people who survived slavery and the postreconstruction era. European music was transformed into a purely American indigenous form giving rise to the blues and jazz forms of the 30s and 40s. This course is open to all students who enjoy singing and will enable them to better understand and appreciate the aesthetics of gospel music.
