The most ethnically and socially diverse choir of its kind, the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir helps to pack their church (and an additional viewing area) every Sunday with their glorious spiritual and musical message. The choir will spread their electrifying energy and contagious joy to BAM by performing hits from their Grammy Award winning album He Reigns and their newly released, currently Grammy nominated CD The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir Live...This Is Your House. The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir is an award-winning gospel ensemble that has performed hymns, psalms, and spiritual songs at such prestigious concert venues as Carnegie Hall, Radio City Music Hall, and Madison Square Garden. The downtown Brooklyn choir, led by Musical Director Carol Cymbala, who founded the choir in 1973, has recorded three videos and numerous albums earning five Grammy Awards and two Dove Awards. Although she has no formal training in music, Cymbala has been writing performance material for the choir for over 20 years. Today, the world-renowned 275-member choir represents a wide range of races, economic backgrounds, and professions, consisting of mostly Brooklyn Tabernacle Church members with no formal musical training. As a recording group, the choir has sold three million albums; additionally, a core group of soloists called the Brooklyn Tabernacle Singers performs at locations across the country each year. Their Grammy-winning Be Glad, which was recorded days after the September 11th terrorist attacks, continues to resonate. As one of New York’s most acclaimed choirs, the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir performs a diverse array of traditional and contemporary gospel styles every Sunday at the Brooklyn Tabernacle on Smith Street. Vickie Winans first began singing at the International Gospel Center Church in Michigan at age eight and later joined Winans Part II with BeBe, CeCe, and Daniel Winans. She began her solo career in 1985 with Be Encouraged for Light Records and since then, she has recorded a total of nine albums including the Grammy nominated The Lady for MCI Records in 1991. Her highly successful Live in Detroit and Live in Detroit II were both Grammy nominated and the later won two Stellar Awards including ‘Female Vocalist of the Year.” Her newest CD Bringing It All Together was number one on the Billboard Gospel charts for nine weeks and received eight Stellar Award and one Grammy Award nomination. She had two sons with Marvin Winans, Mario and Marvin “Coconut,” and has two grandchildren. #### .

Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Crystal Yvonne Sellers Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Loretta Robinson, Advisor Karen Peeler C. Patrick Woliver Copyright by Crystal Yvonne Sellers 2009 Abstract ―I Sing Because I‘m Free‖: Developing a Systematic Vocal Pedagogy for the Modern Gospel Singer With roots in the early songs and Spirituals of the African American slave, and influenced by American Jazz and Blues, Gospel music holds a significant place in the music history of the United States. Whether as a choral or solo composition, Gospel music is accompanied song, and its rhythms, textures, and vocal styles have become infused into most of today‘s popular music, as well as in much of the music of the evangelical Christian church. For well over a century voice teachers and voice scientists have studied thoroughly the Classical singing voice. The past fifty years have seen an explosion of research aimed at understanding Classical singing vocal function, ways of building efficient and flexible Classical singing voices, and maintaining vocal health care; more recently these studies have been extended to Pop and Musical Theater voices. Surprisingly, to date almost no studies have been done on the voice of the Gospel singer. Despite its growth in popularity, a thorough exploration of the vocal requirements of singing Gospel, developed through years of unique tradition and by hundreds of noted Gospel artists, is virtually non-existent.

All other rights reserved. Foreword I'm pleased to share with readers of Crain's Detroit Business, as well as with others in the Detroit region, this first-of-its-kind study of the business of music in southeast Michigan. Everyone that grew up in this area knows of the "Motown sound," as well as the heritage of jazz, blues, and rock that has steeped into our culture. Many of us are also aware of the more recent innovations of techno and hip-hop, much of which has roots in Detroit. However, until now there has been no systematic analysis of the business of music in our area. Our Anderson Economic Group consultants have combed census and other business records; examined the geographic pattern of nightclubs and perfor- mance venues; scanned demographic patterns for concentrations of heavy enter- tainment consumers; and even conducted primary research into the days/nights of live music available to metro Detroiters at over two hundred specific bars, taverns, and clubs. What we have assembled is a thorough analysis of an indus- try that has always been important to our culture, but can now also be known for its contributions to our employment and earnings.
