Swing

 Swing is a style of jazz that grew from African American roots and dominated American popular music in what came to be known as the Swing Era (from approximately 1930 to 1945). Played by big bands led by such lmusicians as Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, and Artie Shaw, swing has a distinctive rhythmic feel.This is achieved by accentuating beats 2 and 4, replacing steady eighth notes with lilting, “swinging” eighth notes, and adding accents and syncopation—all anchored by a walking bass line. This gives the music a groove or beat.   Louis Armstrong said, “If you don’t feel it, you’ll never know it.” Swing makes people want to get up and dance, and a  new kind of dance evolved along with the music, including dances like the jitterbug and the Lindy hop.

The Negro Spiritual

Negro spirituals are songs created by the Africans who were captured and brought to the United States to be sold into slavery (= esclavage)

Over the years, these slaves and their descendants adopted Christianity, the religion of their masters.   They expressed their feelings of sadness and oppression in their songs, which were  known as spirituals. They told stories from the Bible and identified with the Hebrews who were the prisoners of the Egyptians.

The songs were also used to communicate with one another in secret to escape slavery.

“Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child,” “Nobody Knows The Trouble I’ve Seen”, “Steal Away,” “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,” “Go Down, Moses,” “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hand,” “Every Time I Feel the Spirit,”  and “Wade in the Water.”
