Go Down, Moses (Passover)


A Negro Spiritual, America's first great original musical art form. In Marian Anderson's words, "the simple, direct and sincere contact with the soul of man thruout(sic) the world." Created from the depths of slavery & drawn from both the Old & New Testaments, these anthems of lament, joy, longing for freedom illuminate the natural kinship between the Black & Jewish experience. Hardly an accident that Jews & Blacks are the two primary sources of American Popular Song.
