Jazz is merely the Negroes cry of Joy & Suffering
INTROIT- Joy n’ Suff’rin
Jazz is the musical expression of the triumph of the Negroes Spirit
KYRIE ELEISON- Lawd Hav’ Merci
This endless repetition is like a Chain around the Spirit. And is a reflection of the denial of a future to the Negro in the American way of life
DIAS IRE- Chain Around the Spirit
Another restraining factor in Jazz are the changes
TUBA MIRUM- The Changes
The Negro experiences the endless daily humiliation of American life which bequeaths him a Futureless Future
REX TREMENDAE –Futureless Future
The Negro transforms America’s image of him into a transport of Joy!
RECORDARE-Recall the Joy
Jazz reflects the improvised life thrust upon the Negro
CONFUTATIS-Repression
Through Spirituals, through the Blues, then through Jazz we made a memory of our past and a promise of all to come
LACRIMOSA- Weeping our Lady of Sorrow
Because Jazz is the one element in American life where whites must be humble to the Negro
OFFERTURIUM-HOSTIAS-Humility
Only when whites have paid the price in suffering to be the Negroes equal
SANCTUS- Holy, Holy, Holy
The Jazz body is dead but the Spirit of Jazz is Alive
AGNUS DEI-Jazz is Dead!
LUX AETERNA – Eternal Light (Angel Bat Dawid) / My Rhapsody (Severson-Leist) feat. Marshall Allen & Knoel Scott
