dc.descriptionAlbum Jacket for Traditional Arts Indiana's recording "Sweet Hour of Prayer: Hymns and Spirituals on Piano featuring Reverend Dennis H. Freeman."
dc.description.abstractDuring the pandemic, Reverend Dennis H. Freeman offered weekly musical devotions for members of the Witherspoon Presbyterian Church in Indianapolis. He titled these weekly performances “Sweet Hour of Prayer,” drawing the name from the popular 19th-century hymn. Each week, the Church streamed his songs of encouragement online. This online offering continued and extended a long tradition in the Black Church of using hymns and spirituals to comfort and encourage the congregation during difficult times. This collection was recorded on August 28, 2020, at one of these special services at the Witherspoon Presbyterian Church. Reverend. Dennis H.
