Gospel song (English spelling) gospel song

Japanese: ゴスペル・ソング(英語表記)gospel song
Gospel song (English spelling) gospel song
Refers to gospel songs that originated among the masses, as opposed to regular Christian hymns. Originally, it meant songs sung during the religious revival movement that occurred throughout the United States in the late 19th century, but today, Christian music that falls into the category of folk music, especially songs that feature black rhythm and a shouting style of singing, are called "gospel songs" and the singers are called "gospel singers." They are usually sung in groups of four or five people, accompanied by electric guitars and drums, and sung and performed in the style of post-World War II black popular music that is common to rhythm and blues.

Japanese:
正規のキリスト教賛美歌に対し,大衆の間で生まれた福音唱歌を指す。もともと,19世紀後半にアメリカ各地で起こった信仰復興運動で歌われた歌を意味したが,今日では民俗音楽の範疇に入るようなキリスト教音楽,とくに黒人のリズム感や叫ぶような歌唱法を特徴とする歌を〈ゴスペル・ソング〉,その歌い手を〈ゴスペル・シンガー〉と呼んでいる。ふつう4~5人のグループで歌い,エレクトリック・ギターやドラムなどが伴奏につき,〈リズム・アンド・ブルース〉などと共通の第2次世界大戦後の黒人大衆音楽のスタイルで歌唱され演奏される。
