Written by George Pullen Jackson, a renowned musicologist and folklorist, the book delves into the history and cultural significance of this unique style of music, which is characterized by its haunting melodies and intricate harmonies. The book begins by tracing the origins of Fasola singing back to the early days of the American colonies, when European settlers brought their own musical traditions with them. Jackson then examines the evolution of Fasola singing over the centuries, from its roots in the rural South to its emergence as a popular form of religious music in the early 20th century. Throughout the book, Jackson provides detailed analyses of the songs themselves, including their lyrics, melodies, and harmonies. He also explores the role of Fasola singing in Southern culture, particularly in the context of the region's religious and social traditions. \"\"White Spirituals in the Southern Uplands\"\" is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of American music, as well as those interested in the cultural and social history of the American South. Jackson's meticulous research and insightful analysis make this book an essential resource for scholars, musicians, and music lovers alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
