The sentiments expressed in the spirituals vary widely, but what most seem to have in common is a powerful magnetism to draw humans closer to their divine origins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpirituals' melodies are typically simple and often hypnotically repetitive, while the harmonies can be quite complex in their structure and direction. Rhythms range from driving and strong to gentle and seductive, depending on the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll spirituals, as is true also of all hymns, are designed to be sung, and any success in transferring a spiritual's essence to an instrument, especially one as potentially abstract as the organ, depends largely on the melody's association with the text. What the organist will discover, however, is that in the case of each of the songs in this collection, the theme as reflected in the\nspiritual's title summarizes the content of the entire spiritual. While an examination of the full text will reveal a variety of content, one need only know the title to grasp the essence of the whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese arrangements attempt to recreate some of the beauty and power of the originals, focusing on the organ's various strengths and perhaps shining a new light on the spirituals' content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Daniel Burton, San Ramón, Costa Rica\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wayne Leupold Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46038597402703,"sku":"LE600417","price":20.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/pt\/products\/burton-grandeur-and-glory-volume-12-leupold","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
