Thanks a lot for your explanation. I'm interested in know more about gospel
because I live in Italy, where I saw that there is the generical concept of
Gospel, without distinction, so every group tends to be marked only as a
gospel group, regardless of the style used inside.
In Italy there are a lot of Gospel Choirs that refers to gospel songs only
for the choral sound of the song itself...
I'm trying with my choir to put attention also to the meaning of a gospel
song (with attention to the text, translating and interpretating it) in
order to achieve a better understanding, for example, of where to put a
specific song inside of priest sermons.
So I'm trying also to determinate at what kind of gospel style can be
associated songs like:
Amazing Grace
Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen
Lift Every Voice And Sing
In The Name Of Jesus
Oh Happy Day
Lean On Me
and other from our repertory....
