 ctified Church \n\nHannah Snavely\, coordinator \n\nWhen asked to reflect o
 n her childhood accompanying Black pentecostal congregations in Detroit\, l
 egendary jazz musician and composer Alice Coltrane said “the people in the 
 audience were so overcome by the spirit\, they weren’t singing anymore\; so
 me were just walking around the church. Half of the choir had been carried 
 out.” While remembered for the innovative ways her syncretic spirituality i
 nformed her compository voice\, few scholars recognize the specific ways th
 at her childhood experiences accompanying Black pentecostal congregations i
 nfluenced her theomusicological development. This presentation chronicles t
 he experiences and innovations of teenage Black girl musicians who\, simila
 r to Alice Coltrane\, navigated early 20th-century Black pentecostal reviva
 l circuits. \n            \nApril 21\, 2021\nWednesday\, 12:00-12:50 P.M. P

 rical consideration\, and nuanced religious analysis.\n\nInformation: \nper
