Introduction
Gospel music is a genre of Christian music. The creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of gospel music varies according to culture and social context. Gospel music is composed and performed for many purposes, including aesthetic pleasure, religious or ceremonial purposes, and as an entertainment product for the marketplace.
American gospel music is rooted in the spirituals sung by slaves on plantations in the American South. Spirituals were primarily work songs that were adapted for use in religious worship. Work songs often had a call and response structure, and they were usually pulsating with a rousing chorus. Slaves were not allowed to sing about their personal lives or their yearnings for freedom; instead, they channeled those emotions into their work songs. As white missionaries contact with slaves in the American South increased in the early 19th century, they began to transcribe these work songs into hymns. These hymns, along with other gospel-esque songs, became known as Negro spirituals.
The term “gospel song” most commonly refers to a style of black American church music that originated in the late 19th century. The first gospel songs were recorded by Thomas A. Dorsey, who is credited with coining the term “gospel music.” Dorsey was a renowned jazz musician who was also a classically trained composer and arranger; he later became known as “the father of black gospel music.” His best-known composition is “Take My Hand, Precious Lord,” which was recorded by Mahalia Jackson and remains one of the most popular gospel songs of all time.
Dorsey’s contemporary James Cleveland was another important figure in the development of black gospel music; he is often referred to as “the king of Gospel.” Cleveland’s influential recordings include “The Love of God” and “Blessed Assurance.” Like Dorsey, Cleveland was also a classically trained musician; he used his knowledge of musical theory to create complex harmonies that helped to define the sound of black gospel music.
black Gospel Music has been referred to as “the soundtrack of the civil rights movement” because it played such an important role in raising awareness about social injustice and promoting racial equality. Gospel artists like Mahalia Jackson, Mavis Staples, Kirk Franklin, and Yolanda Adams continue to use their platform to speak out against racism, inequality, and other social ills. In recent years, black gospel artists have also begun experimenting with other genres like soul and hip hop, further expanding the definition of what qualifies as gospel music

What is Gospel Music?
Gospel music is a genre of Christian music. The creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of gospel music varies according to culture and social context. Gospel music is composed and performed for many purposes, including aesthetic pleasure, religious or ceremonial purposes, and as an entertainment product for the marketplace. Gospel music usually has dominant vocals (often with strong use of harmony) with Christian lyrics. Gospel music can be traced to the early 17th century, with roots in the black oral tradition. Hymns and sacred songs were often repeated in a call and response fashion. Most of the churches relied on hand clapping and foot stomping as rhythmic accompaniment. Cutting brush was also a common practise among gospel artists of the time.
