Four instructional CDs plus manual.
Explore the harmonies, melodies, rhythms, counter-melodies and vocal styles of 20 songs from the African American singing tradition. This four CD course is perfect for individuals, choirs, church, camp, and community groups or friends of any background who want to participate in a unique and uplifting musical activity. Anyone who loves to sing will be thrilled by the depth and range of the material taught here! These CDs are structured so you can learn the melody of a given song, then learn up to five or six different harmony lines to sing with the melody. You then hear all the parts for the total effect of a group of people singing together. Ysaye Barnwell fills the lessons with her wonderfully warm voice, performing all of the parts from bass to soprano.
George Brandon provides the cultural and historic context to each form of the music presented here much like he has done in the workshop taught with Ysaye at the Omega Institute for the past 25 years.
