Answer to Question 1

folk spirituals
developed first
accompaniment: typically foot tapping, hand clapping, or both
call-and-response singing
oral transmission

concert spirituals
written down, harmonized, arranged
accompaniment: piano
performed in concert
more often performed by soloists
repertoire established by Roland Hayes, Paul Robeson, and Marian Anderson (among others)

Answer to Question 2

It followed the conversion of significant numbers of slaves to Christianity.
It represents less an adaptation of the Methodist and Baptist hymns and formal services than an African response to them.
The spirituals first belonged to the shout that took place after the services.
The shouters formed a ring in which they circled dancers and accompanied them with singing and hand clapping.
The ring has a distinctly African heritage.
