La musique Gospel est à la mode. Elle ne se limite plus aujourd'hui à son creuset d'origine, le monde anglophone nord-américain. Depuis un demi-siècle, elle se réinvente en langue française et témoigne d'une culture protestante francophone créolisée en plein essor. Le milieu social qui la porte n'en est pas moins confronté à plusieurs défis : les finances, la frontière sacré/profane, la mixité, la formation, les relations avec les églises...Le projet Mosaïc (Fédération Protestante de France), chargé des relations avec les églises d'immigration, s'est beaucoup appuyé sur les chorales Gospel pour illustrer la diversité protestante. Du côté catholique, depuis la vogue controversée des "messes rythmées" postVatican II, les chorales Gospel sont parfois conviées lors d'événements à forte visibilité. Mais ces chorales sont-elles de simples adjuvants décoratifs et populaires, où interrogentelles plus profondément les Eglises, par leurs pratiques souvent oecuméniques et interculturelles ? Une chose est certaine : la musique Gospel a pour vocation de transmettre.Elle réactualise un trait fondamental de la culture chrétienne qui démocratisa le chant choral au XVIe siècle au nom de ce principe simple : communiquer la grâce de Dieu au plus grand nombre.

From Robert Johnson to Aretha Franklin, Mahalia Jackson to John Lee Hooker, blues and gospel artists figure heavily in the mythology of twentieth-century culture. The styles in which they sang have proved hugely influential to generations of popular singers, from the wholesale adoptions of singers like Robert Cray or James Brown, to the subtler vocal appropriations of Mariah Carey. Their own music, and how it operates, is not, however, always seen as valid in its own right. This book provides an overview of both these genres, which worked together to provide an expression of twentieth-century black US experience. Their histories are unfolded and questioned; representative songs and lyrical imagery are analysed; perspectives are offered from the standpoint of the voice, the guitar, the piano, and also that of the working musician. The book concludes with a discussion of the impact the genres have had on mainstream musical culture.

"This work is by no means an exhaustively detailed study of gospel music in Chicago. Its intent is to chronicle the development of Chicago gospel music during its first five decades, from pioneers such Thomas Dorsey and Sallie Martin to the start of the contemporary gospel era of the 1970s, when the focus shifted from Chicago to California"--Introduction (page 7).
