Gospel Roots!
Saturday 16 October 2004 14:00-15:00 (Radio 3)
Gospel Roots! In this audience workshop Stephen Johnson is joined by Ken Burton and the London Adventist Chorale to reveal the roots of gospel choral singing.
Taking a number of contemporary arrangements and compositions as their starting point, they consider the function of the gospel singing in Christian worship and examine how the gospel style evolved through influences and traditions from Africa, from European hymnology, from the spiritual, from jazz and from improvisation.
