Gospel Song (19th century)
The term Gospel Song, first used by Philip Bliss, was created in order to describe a new genre of spiritual songs that originated out of the church hymn singing tradition and was meant to support the preacher's message, the Gospel, at huge gatherings of faithless audiences during the Great Awakening of the Methodist Church in the U.S. during the late 19th century by finding new, easy to learn expressive melodies and using a repetitive structure of Verses and Choruses.
The original late 19th century Shaped-note Gospel Song founded the stylistic heritage and still lends its name to today's many different styles of Gospel music. In particular Traditional black gospel developed out of an style fusion between this ″white″ ''Gospel Song'' and the African American spiritual for example. Because of this modern understanding of the term Gospel in relation to music, the original Gospel songs today are often mistakenly referred to as hymns.
== History ==
The second half of the 19th century saw the rise of a new form of Christian revival mostly in the urban North of the United States, so called camp meetings. Especially rapidly grown cities like New York, Boston and Chicago formed hot spots of this religious movement initiated by the Methodist Church and addressed to and carried by mostly simple workers of the Proletariat. In regards to this new audience, successful evangelists of those days like Dwight L. Moody were looking for musical accompaniment that would suit the needs of emotional disrupture of the working class. For this reason he partnered with singer Ira D. Sankey, whose soft voice soon made him famous as ″The Sweet Singer of Methodism″ in 1871. This, just being one example, illustrates what happened all across the United States to Christian music. It evolved from the hymn's and carol's straight rhythm, complicated melodies and non-contemporary lyrics to an easy-to-grasp song, that was supposed to be memorable and plain enough to make the Gospel understandable all by itself to its listeners.
