Sacred Music  

African American Culture, Spirit and Song

Ever wonder about the evolution of Gospel music? Check out this video of the 2018 presentation by Rawn Harbor at the Oblate School of Theology, prior to his retirement. One of the preeminent African American Catholic liturgists and musicians in the U.S., he spoke, played the piano and sang to convey his message of the African American Catholic spirit, culture and song. Some of the songs he brought into his presentation will sound familiar, as they are in the Lead Me, Guide Me hymnal that we use at Holy Cross.
