Donald\u00a0Dumpson, to perform this\u00a0moving\u00a0and fun repertoire. Tap your feet, sing along, or just relax and enjoy!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Spirituals and Gospel music are unique African American contributions to the musical culture of the United States. Their origins lie in the syncretizing of African traditions with the Christian culture of Europe. Songs of African American slaves combine the hymns of America, England, and elements of African singing, such as call-and-response between single singers and a group to create a poignant and uplifting repertoire. After the Civil War, groups such as Fisk University\u2019s Jubilee Singers toured America and Europe with performances by a professional choir of arranged spirituals, and efforts to codify and arrange this expressive genre of music began. \u00a0Composers such as \u00a0the English Creole composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875-1912) and Canadian-born African American composer R. Nathaniel Dett (1882-1943) incorporated material from Spirituals as the basis for their works. Gospel music initially began\u00a0for religious worship in the late 19th and early 20th century. Unlike the primarily vocal Spirituals, gospel music incorporated instrumental elements\u00a0from the start, including\u00a0everything from the banjo to the piano to the organ. Significant overlap with the ascent of jazz is notable, and the two influenced each other. Gospel music incorporates the virtuosity and complexity of jazz and will often showcase the solo singer. \u00a0Today, Gospel&#8217;s reach and appeal extend far beyond its original use\u00a0as music intended solely for church, into concert halls, communities, and films.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5547\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5547\" style=\"width: 212px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5547 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/performingartsnews\/files\/2017\/03\/ddumpson_rdax_100_0-212x300.jpg\" alt=\"photo of Dr. Dumpson\" width=\"212\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/performingartsnews\/files\/2017\/03\/ddumpson_rdax_100_0-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/performingartsnews\/files\/2017\/03\/ddumpson_rdax_100_0.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 212px) 100vw, 212px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5547\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. J.
