Definition:
A state of depression or melancholy. Often
used with the blues
A style of music evolved from southern African-American
secular songs and usually distinguished by a syncopated
4/4 rhythm, flatted thirds and sevenths, a 12-bar structure,
and lyrics in a three-line stanza in which the second line
repeats the first:
"The
blues is an expression of anger against shame and humiliation"
B.B. King.
origins
of the blues: One important early reference
to something probably closely resembling the blues comes
from 1901, a researcher from Mississippi described the songs
of black workers which had lyrical themes and technical
elements in common with the blues .
The
most important direct antecedent of the blues was the spiritual,
a form of religious song with its roots in the camp meetings
of the Great Awakening of the early 19th century. Spirituals
were a passionate song form, that "convey(ed) to listeners
the same feeling of rootlessness and misery" as the
blues ].
Spirituals,
however, were less specifically concerning the performer,
instead about the general loneliness of mankind, and were
more figurative than direct in their lyrics. Aside from
the spirituals, African American work songs were an important
precursor to the modern blues; these included the songs
sung by laborers like stevedores and roustabouts, and the
field hollers of slaves..
