******************** THE ORIGIN & HISTORY ********************

Spiritual music or Negro spirituals are churchly songs (generally Christian songs) that were developed by African people enslaved in the United States during the 17th century and several centuries that followed.

The term “spiritual” itself is derived exactly from “spiritual song.” According to the King James Bible, the Ephesians 5:19 states: "Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord." As a noun, “spiritual” means a “spiritual person or thing” and it does not particularly concern the song itself. Musicologist George Pullen Jackson stretched the term further to include a broader sphere of folk hymnody.

Over the course of time, spiritual music also encompassed standard European-American hymnodic styles, as well as post-emancipation music that had similarities in style to the early Negro spiritual songs.

Negro spiritual appeared in print starting in the 1860s, during a time when slaves were depicted to be using spirituals for sacred songs that were vocalized while standing or sitting, as well as “spiritual shouts” used for more “dance-like” kind of music. It is an endemic form of music within the United States experienced and propagated by Africans and their descendants.
