The music and lyrics of African American spirituals form a rich tradition that has become an important part of Christian worship across the world. They were strong expressions of deep religious faith in the midst of tremendous adversity, and it is through that resonance that they speak powerfully to the hearts of Christians today. Marianne Kim's organ music always draws on jazz, blues, and gospel elements-styles that (because of their shared African American roots) are especially effective when applied to spirituals. These pieces will be useful as preludes, offertories, and postludes.
