Definition: Spirituals, or negro spirituals are a genre of music that they wrote and sang to give them hope that one day, they will reach freedom in Canada

Harlem Gospel Singers- Go Down Moses

http://youtu.be/Uz0sQDhx1rE

This song, Go Down Moses, is from what I believe, asking God to give them freedom. They sing of the Egyptian times and refer to the Pharaoh as the oppressor and the jewish people as the slaves. They can relate to the song significantly well because of their slavery and desperately wanting freedom.

Listen, by Beyonce

http://youtu.be/P8GW6N3XYi8

You should have listened, there is someone here inside

Someone I thought had died so long ago

Oh, I'm screaming out and my dreams'll be heard

They will not be pushed aside on word

This song is a much more modern version of what happened with the Negros in the 1800’s. The lyrics above state that her voice is not listened to and like many of the Negros, her voice, her soul and dreams could not be fulfilled because they were ignored. Similar to Beyonce, the Negros dream to find freedom would not be pushed aside.

Define spirituals.  What role did the spirituals play in helping black slaves come to Canada?

- A spiritual is an individuall who insists on living on the spiritual side of life.

 

3.  Choose an underground railroad spiritual song. Post the song title and a brief synopsis of the song. In a few sentences, explain the significance of the lyrics.  Find at least two images that illustrate the message the song is giving to runaways.

- Follow The Drinking Gourd
This song is significant because it is about finding your way through the underground railway because it was supposedly written in code with escape instructions which enabled slaves to flee and help them get to freedom.

4.  Search for the song on Youtube.  Listen to the song and post the link onto the blog

5. Find a contemporary that has similar themes and post the name and  some of the lyrics. As an easy example,  Bob Marley wrote many songs that speak to the same themes of spiritual songs of African Americans.  But the themes can be universal.  Every human wants freedom. The charter of Human Rights contains many universal themes of humanity.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star lyrics:
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
How I wonder what you are.

2.) Spirituals are a sort of religious song associated with the black Christians of the southern USA, they usually told a story about freedom, or an encouraging song that would help them through the trials that they would face.

3.) Steal Away.

This song was sung as a signal to gather revolting slaves to meetings. This song is about Nat Turner, the leader of a slave revolt that ultimately failed. The lyrics signify the call for freedom from slavery and served as a warning call for rogue slaves.

I'll Fly Away

by Alison Krauss and Gillian Welch

[Chorus]
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).

When the shadows of this life have gone,
I'll fly away;
Like a bird from prison bars has flown,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away)

The slaves escaping to Canada knew that it would be a dangerous journey, yet their spirituals kept them convinced a life of freedom is worth the risk.

3 & 4)Underground Railroad Spiritual Song:
Title: Steal Away by Reverend Pearly Brown
 
The song Steal Away is significant to the underground railroad because it expresses how the Lord was telling them to "steal away" - or escape - to a new, better world free of slavery. The slaves follow the calling of their Lord, trusting Him to lead them on their journey to freedom.
