Description
-
Lockhart's handwritten letter and sheet music based on spirituals mailed to Barnes
-
Ablyne Lockhart (1917–2014), daughter of a Methodist minister from Riverside, California, discovered her love of singing in the church choir. In 1942, inspired by Albert Barnes’s book The Art in Painting, she enrolled in classes at the Barnes Foundation, where her musical interests gained support. Awarded a scholarship that same year, she was later connected with Fisk University’s John Wesley Work III and conducted fieldwork across the rural South in 1943, documenting African American spirituals at revivals, camp meetings, and church gatherings (The Barnes Foundation, “Education & Empowerment: Scholarship Recipients at the Barnes Foundation, 1927–1949.”).

Dear Dr. Barnes:
I thought that perhaps you would
like to see some of the songs that I
have picked up.
Will you kindly hold them for me
because I do not have second copies?
(of them).
Please ignore the key signature
in Let us Break Bread Together. As written
the signature should be 5 sharps. I’ll
re-write it when I return.
Sincerely,
Ablyne Lockhart
