The National Association of Negro
Musicians, Inc. proudly presents its first compact disc recording
of traditional Spirituals, “sung the old-time way!” In an effort
to preserve authentic Negro Spirituals (as much as possible),
these songs were recorded in two sessions during Annual Meetings
in 2003 in Los Angeles and in 2005 in St. Louis. NANM members,
along with local church choir members in each city, joined forces
to simulate a camp meeting or other type of worship gathering in
which our ancestors would have participated in group song. These
are not arrangements, but are sung in the folk tradition.
Enjoy these timeless classics!

Lord, Until I Reach My Home

Noland Peyton Foundation, with additional support from the Ruth S.
Holmberg Professorship in American Music at the University of
Tennessee at Chattanooga.
