Spirituals were an intrinsic part of the African-American plantation life and were sung at all important occasions and events. This volume is the first index of African-American spirituals to be published in more than half a century and will be an important research tool for scholars and students of African-American history and music. The first collection of slave songs appeared in 1843, without musical notation, in a series of three articles by a Methodist Church missionary identified simply as c. Collections that included musical notation began appearing in the 1850s. The earliest book-length collection of spirituals containing both lyrics and music was published in 1867 and entitled Slave Songs of the United States. Not since the 1930s, with the publication of the Index to Negro Spirituals by the Cleveland Public Library, has an index of spirituals been compiled.The spirituals are neatly organized in four indexes: a title index, first line index, alternate title index and a topical index that includes twenty major categories. A bibliography of indexed sources serves as a guide for further research.

Indexes the printed music of spirituals with publications dating from 1867 to the present.African American spirituals constitute one of the largest bodies of American folk song and have survived into the twenty-first century. They are the root of American music. This book indexes some sixty-six hundred spirituals in 233 music anthologies published from 1867 to the present. Abromeit began indexing spirituals in the late nineties and was the first to update access to this body of repertoire in more than half a century. This noteworthy work serves as an essential research tool for performers, scholars, and students of African American music and history. The spirituals are neatly organized in five indexes: Uniform Title, Dialect Title, First Line, Song Classification that includes twenty significant categories, and Scriptural References. A bibliography of indexed sources serves as a guide for further research.
