Gospel Music
Gospel music is a traditional genre of Christian music and a cornerstone of Christian media. The creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of gospel music vary 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 is characterized by dominant vocals and strong use of harmony with Christian lyrics. Gospel music can be traced to the early 17th century. Hymns and sacred songs were often performed in a call-and-response fashion, heavily influenced by ancestral African music. Most of the churches relied on hand–clapping and foot–stomping as rhythmic accompaniment. Most of the singing was done ''a cappella''.Jackson, Joyce Marie.

The Heavens Are Telling (album)
''The Heavens Are Telling'' is the third album by gospel singer Karen Clark Sheard, released on November 4, 2003. In the US, the album peaked at number three on the ''Billboard'' Top Gospel Charts, number 11 on ''Billboard'' Top Christian Albums, number 44 on the ''Billboard'' Top R&B/Hip-Hop Charts, and number 188 on the ''Billboard'' 200. Though the previous album, '' 2nd Chance'', performed well on the charts, the slick contemporary R&B production was not openly embraced by Sheard's core audience of traditional gospel music listeners. This release returns to the formula of her hugely successful, well-received and Grammy-nominated first album, ''Finally Karen'', by offering half of the album as a collection of live tracks and half as a collection of upbeat studio productions. Radio edits of the live tracks "We Acknowledge You" and "We Are Not Ashamed (featuring Mary Mary)" were the album's lead singles. Leaning more toward embracing a contemporary worship audience, Sheard cov ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
