tried-and-true "negro spirituals" and beloved gospel standbys a-la Lift Every Voice and Sing {an Episcopal hymnal}, Moses Hogan {a popular arranger of choral settings of spirituals}, and upbeat Ella Fitzgerald {if you don't know who Ella Fitzgerald is, why are you here?}; some choral and some solo with big band, starting with slower songs and picking up towards the end, some by authentic black artists and some imitations by admiring white people; all rich and full and God-loving music that'll remind you of summer Sundays and hallelujahs
