About This Item
Nashville: Work Bros. & Hart Co.. 1907. First Edition; First Printing. Softcover. Wraps, very good+, small ink spot on front wrap as well as a small chip to front wrap corner and title page. 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. One copy found on OCLC.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 61 pp .
