The Spirituals Database provides searchable information about Negro
Spirituals set for the solo voice and recorded on over 3,300 tracks from
more than 320 sound recordings. Launched in March, 2015, the database
is a resource for discovering and researching the Spiritual's potential
role in developing a singer's repertoire.<br>
<br>
Information in The Spirituals Database includes vocal and/or
instrumental accompanying forces, the voice type of the soloists, and
links to additional resources about the recordings. Two new features--a
developing assessment of the amount of dialect the singers used in their
recorded performances and tagging songs by theme--further expand the
range of searchable data.<br>
<br>
The primary-but far from exclusive-audience for The Spirituals Database
is the vocalist, the vocal coach/teacher and the accompanist who is
looking for these recorded resources. Even the composer, music
historian, educator, librarian, researcher, or enthusiast who wants to
hear these great songs performed will have reason to seek out
information about the wide range of recordings-including a number of
rare or out-of-print long-playing (33 1/3 rpm) and 78 rpm albums, audio
cassettes and 45 rpm discs, as well as demonstration recordings from
Spirituals music score compilations-represented in the database.<br>
