Course Description

This course is designed to teach about the reason(s) for the formation of the Fisk Jubilee Singers. Who were members of the original ensemble? The course will help students learn about each individual member of the first ensemble. As part of the study, students will learn about the first tour, which started on October 6, 1871. It was during this first tour that the ensemble was named “Jubilee” Singers. Since the ensemble introduced the Negro spirituals to the world, the course will cover aspects of this genre of music, including form, melodic structure, text and musical elements that tie the Negro spiritual to West African Music.
