Gospel Roots!

Discovering Music

Available for over a year

Stephen Johnson is joined by Ken Burton and the London Adventist Chorale to reveal the roots of gospel choral singing. Taking a number of contemporary arrangements and compositions as their starting point, they consider the function of the gospel style in Christian worship. Together they examine how the gospel style evolved through influences and traditions from Africa, European hymnology, the spiritual, jazz and improvisation.
