Eye on Go sp c l I Top Opera Divas are big hit in Gospel By Maraaret M eld Ust month, market the release of Spirituals In Concert, the first-ever' joint concert by America's leading spon ors Kath­ leen Battle and Jessye Norman. ·Spirituals In Concert" was originally broadcast as a 90 minute.TV specla! late last XJ r as rt Q S- i TV's " �rcat Performances". aped live at Carnegie Hall in March, of 1990, the project wa the brainchild of TV producer Peter Oelb. Gelb had worked both with Norman and Battle in other venues, and knew 'very well of their love of spirituals. "I loved the idea," leading operatic star, Kathleen Battle says. "I wasn't weened on opera. I ang religious Jes ye Norman songs, spirituals, and hymn. These are the ongs of my ancestors, songs of my childhood." And while BatU grandfather had been a slave,-another connection to religious music came through her father who sang in gospel quartets, in and around her hometown of Portsmouth, Ohio. Battle is presently contracted with Polygram to put together an album of spirituals. IRONICALLY, Battles make a profound distinction be­ tween spirituals and today' gospel music. "I love to listen to gospel, but I'm not so sure of where it's going. I'd love to do "Preciou Lord" with a simple delivery. It's been done a number of time, a number of ways, but jhar's the great thing about spirituals, they're sturdy. They can take alot, and tbat is the hallmark of wonderful, good music." Not surprlstngty, the most difficult part of putting "Spirituals In Concert" together, was determining which spirituals to sing. "I was very adamant about not being typecast", Battle tate. "I have a light, high voice, and I didn't want to only use the part of my voice. The spiritual is so rich and varied, that I wanted my presentation to also be represented in a varied context. Jessye too, gave a verttable kaleidoscope of color in the tune that she chose. The experience brought out sides in both of us that people would not have predicted. That' what made the it 0 interest­ ing. Then of course, the energy in the hall that night was absolutely uplifting and transported us all. There was some­ thing very special going on." Apparently, a great many agree, , as the album i enjoying phenomenal re-sponse from gospel stations through-out the country. The collaboration includes such popular favorites as "He's Got The Whole World In His Hand" and "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" . Just Bri'fly: Christian rappers got together last month in Na hville during GMA (Gospel �u ic Association) week. Barry O. Hogan of P.LD. spoke out against gos ip among them, aying "we shouldn't go around talking bad about each other. There's no room for a Vanilla Ice in the body of Christ-he's fake." The group also discussed the po sibility of reuniting to do a video project dedicated to the late D-Boy, a Christian rapper who was shot and killed last year .... This week's scripture: "Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait til the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time, each will receive his praise from Ood", -1 Corinthians 4:5. Sen (I all C h u r c h New san d R e c I pes to' Michigan Citizen PO Box 03560 Highland Park. MI 48203 Fax # (313) 869-0430
