MOODS OF NEGRO FOLK-S0NGS
Gayest to Most Profoundly Tragic Dis
position Is to Be Found Under
the Religious Veil.

The negro sought a channel for
artistic solace, into which he could
throw the symbolism of his racial
longing. He found it, notes a writer
in the New Republic, in the religion
brought TO him by Protestant mission
aries or taught him by his masters.
Here he was free to dream his
dreams and create his visions of fu-
ture happiness, for no master could
punish him for praiSing God. Thus he
found religion and in religion he
found no mood of his simple soul un-
nourished.
1t is, then, not so hard to under
stand why the negro's foIk-song is, in
its superficial form. so predominantly
religious. The .'spirituals'' of the
camp meeting show quite unecclesi-
astical variety of style and mood, a
variety. in fact, coextensive with the
emotional range of simple peasant life.
These include lively dances. bitter la
ments, paeans Of joy and majestic or
ganlike anthems. In the Bible stories
which are retold in ballad form in
some of the spirituals the negro found
expression for his buoyant, genial hui
NOR. Nearly all the familiar moods
Of folk-song, from the gayest to the
most profoundly tragic are to be found
under the religious veil which per-
mitted the slave TO live his own varied
emotional life without interference
from his master.
