Hymns & Spirituals Homepage Church & Camp Meeting Hymns Billings' Illustration for Chapter 4, , all but one -- the Latin hymn from Mozart's that St. Clare sings -- sung by slaves. All but one of those -- the "rowdy song" that Legree demands the slaves sing on their way to his plantation -- are religious. Stowe's own religious affiliation, as the daughter, sister and wife of ministers, was with the Congregational Church, but for the hymns and spirituals in the novel she drew mainly from the Methodist and camp-meeting forms of Christianity she identifies with African Americans. Eight of those songs are available here, in playable arrangements intended to reflect both the traditional words and music, and the versions Stowe included in the novel.
