    ―I Sing Because I‘m Free‖: Developing a Systematic Vocal Pedagogy for the Modern Gospel Singer D. M. A. 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.

  • Black Women's Music Database
    By Stephanie Y. Evans & Stephanie Shonekan Black Women’s Music Database chronicles over 600 Africana singers, songwriters, composers, and musicians from around the world. The database was created by Dr. Stephanie Evans, a professor of Black women’s studies (intellectual history) and developed in collaboration with Dr. Stephanie Shonekon, a professor of Black studies and music (ethnomusicology). Together, with support from top music scholars, the Stephanies established this project to encourage interdisciplinary research, expand creative production, facilitate community building and, most importantly, to recognize and support Black women’s creative genius. This database will be useful for music scholars and ethnomusicologists, music historians, and contemporary performers, as well as general audiences and music therapists. Music heals. The purpose of the Black Women’s Music Database research collective is to amplify voices of singers, musicians, and scholars by encouraging public appreciation, study, practice, performance, and publication, that centers Black women’s experiences, knowledge, and perspectives. This project maps leading Black women artists in multiple genres of music, including gospel, blues, classical, jazz, R & B, soul, opera, theater, rock-n-roll, disco, hip hop, salsa, Afro- beat, bossa nova, soka, and more. Study of African American music is now well established. Beginning with publications like The Music of Black Americans by Eileen Southern (1971) and African American Music by Mellonee Burnim and Portia Maultsby (2006),

    Elder Durward Davis Durward Davis is a native of Los Angeles California. His spirit, presence, and stature are both undeniable, but somehow he has managed to stay hidden from the world’s stage until now. Durward’s love and fascination with music was encouraged by his father who overheard him singing a Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes commercial at the age of six. His father was amazed at his great talent and persuaded Durward to sing in an upcoming worship service at their local church. Durward has been singing ever since. His signature gift has certainly made room for him. Durward has provided background vocals for Pattie Labelle’s, Miss Patti’s Christmas Project, TV One’s The Gospel of Music, The Major Feature Film “Bobby”, as well as jingles and voice-overs for commercials. He has shared the same stage with some of music’s greatest names, not limited to but including Kim Burrell, Wayman Tisdale, Gospel Duo Mary-Mary, Beverly Crawford, Judith McAllister, Donnie McClurkin, Yolanda Adams, Sandi Patti, Kirk Franklin, Fred Hammond and Shirley Caesar to name a few. Durward is a gifted and anointed preacher, composer, arranger, psalmist, worship leader, consultant and clinician. He is an ordained Elder in the Church of God in Christ, Inc. under the capable leadership of Presiding Bishop Charles E. Blake. He is no stranger to ministry, service and excellence. He is one of the founding partners of Manigault, Davis & Jones a 21st Century Ministry Consulting Firm. You may have seen him recently as a finalist on BET’s hit show “Sunday Best”.
