About This Item
Nashville: John W Work & Frederick J Work. 1907. First Edition; First Printing. Softcover. Wraps, very good+ with stains and creasing, in the "manilla binding" offered by the publisher. The front wrap has printed "Order From, Sunday School Publishing Board, 412-420 4th Ave N., Nashville, Tenn."John W Work felt the spirituals and slave songs needed to be preserved and even more, needed to be appreciated by a wider audience. This music was controversial at that time as many former slaves had strong opinions and emotions about it's close connection to their enslavement. Work reformed the Fisk Jubilee Singers, that had been disbanded 20 years earlier, while studing at Fisk and toured with them to promote this music. No copies found on OCLC. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .
