Often referred to as the “Black National Anthem” this hymn melody by John Rosamond Johnson (brother of the text’s author, NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson) is given an energetic and creative treatment by M. Roger Holland II. The piano writing is accessible, lying very naturally under the hands. Driving rhythmic changes add interest, leading the piece to a dramatic and grand conclusion.

Composed by James M. David. Chamber music, 20th century. Published by Potenza Music (P2.30035).

Distrocto is a four movement work for clarinet, violin, and piano. It is composed by James M. David for Kelly Johnson in 2007. In the words of the composer, It was inspired by the drawings of James Reed, age 8 at the time of completion. His work came to my attention through his art instructor and I was immediately impressed by the remarkable creativity of the drawings. Each one was a variation on the theme of Distrocto which apparently implies anything that is mechanical, extraordinarily complex, and rather menacing!.

The volume you are holding is a vivid testimony …to the value of examining this variety and dynamism from multiple, overlapping points of view …to the value of both realist and idealist voices …to the value of articulating wisdom. From the foreword by John D. Witvliet, Calvin Institute of Christian Worship Since the publication of the first volume of Readings in African American Church Music and Worship, public and academic interest in the music and worship in black churches has significantly increased. This second volume makes available the most recent scholarship on twenty-first-century developments and trends, through a representative number of articles, essays, and chapters written by brilliant musicians, authors, and theologians of our time. The list of contributors includes some of the finest emerging scholars, whose voices we will be hearing for years to come, as well as offerings from seasoned authors, whose research and writings are well regarded by peers and the worshiping community at large. The significant contributions—from names new and familiar—greatly broaden the field of study. The 43 chapters of this volume are divided into 7 categories: Worship and Liturgical Practices Perspectives on Praise and Worship Liturgical Theologies Hip Hop and/in the Church Proclamation of the Word Perspectives on Women and Gender Hymnody: Sound and Sense Insightful, thought-provoking, challenging, hopeful—this volume will be a source of knowledge, a stimulus for discussion, and a call to (re)consider the many and varied viewpoints of the African American church.
