== 18th century Caribbean song appropriate here? ==

I read an article today on the BBC news website about a manuscript shortly to go on display at Gloucester Cathedral, which records a song (words and music) sung in Barbados by enslaved people in the late 18th century.

A descriptive note on the original manuscript adds:
"...A Single Negro, (while at Work with the rest of the Gang), leads the Song, and the others join in Chorus at the end of every verse - (Generally in a Minor Key - suppose E with minor 3d.)"
I understand so little about music that I do not know if what the manuscript describes is Field holler, Call and Response or Work Song, but I do think it may be appropriate to one of them. I'm flagging it in case someone else can use it.

18th century Caribbean song appropriate here?

[edit]

I read an article today on the BBC news website about a manuscript shortly to go on display at Gloucester Cathedral, which records a song (words and music) sung in Barbados by enslaved people in the late 18th century.

A descriptive note on the original manuscript adds: "...A Single Negro, (while at Work with the rest of the Gang), leads the Song, and the others join in Chorus at the end of every verse - (Generally in a Minor Key - suppose E with minor 3d.)"

I understand so little about music that I do not know if what the manuscript describes is Field holler, Call and Response or Work Song, but I do think it may be appropriate to one of them. I'm flagging it in case someone else can use it.
