The Negro Sings a New Heaven (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781469644561)

These songs, with their original melodies, are valuable because they are here presented exactly as they were found and sung. Thus collected and preserved, they provide portraiture of the Afro-American folk song and background, and they remain a treasure source for future harmonization if that should be desired. In their simplicity and realism, they record a true emancipation of the black spirit.

Originally published in 1930.
