Go, Tell It on the Mountain
Release Date:
From the bitter days on the plantations arose a unique musical genre, the Negro spiritual. John W. Work, Jr., loved the music and strove to preserve it and have it performed. Initially, Go Tell It on the Mountain was not well-known but Work published it along with many other songs of that genre. The Christmas message of the liberating Savior's birth not only brought hope to slaves but brings that message to all mankind.
