About This Item
1983. Very Rare Title - This is a 1983 2nd edition, revised from a 1977 hardcover edition which included two additional co-authors: Tony Manno (who died before publication of the book) and Mancel Warrick (father of Dionne and Dee Dee, who died in 1977, after the publication of the first edition.) It appears to be a Private Press publication. 8vo size stapled binding with inside covers the equivalent of dust jacket flaps; 101 pages with many pages of sheet music. The author and previous co-authors appear in photographs on inside back cover. Author photograph and biography are on back cover. From inside front cover: "(This book) discusses the history and musical forms of gospel music, beginning with the spirituals of slave days, and branching out into folksongs, jubilees, hymns, anthems, and other forms which culminate in the religious gospel and pop-gospel music known today. It deals in depth with the techniques of all these musicological forms, and provides numerous examples of each, including the transformation of one form to another." Book is slightly bowed from poor storage, but may flatten under the weight of a very heavy book. Top of covers are lightly sunned and there is light soil on front cover. We note ink underlining on pages 6, 31, 34, and 36, brackets on page 24 and one creased page corner. Lightly bumped top back corner and last 20 or so pages. . 2nd. Stapled. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Private Press.
