So glad that at bought this. Was in decent condition just as stated. Definitely a speedy shopping and great quality. The amount of music in this book is so vast. Definitely overwhelming with the amount of old songs I grew up with that I haven't sung in years. Appreciate doing business.

I recommend AAHH highly. I like its literary and religious concepts and cultural content. The responsive readings and litanies are as commendable as the hymns themselves. The volume is a real treasure. So glad my church uses it . I was so impressed that I bought an edition for myself.

This appears to be the definitive real deal...the hymn selections were great and numerous. Also liked the response readings enclosed for worship service use. I think that the title wording, although currently politically correct, is poorly chosen, I would have called it American Heritage Hymnal instead. The "African" word in the name might turn some stereotyping buyers off, why not put the sources inside the cover? If it is necessary to name a people of color in the title, why not use the word "Black" in the title instead of "African," there are a lot more black people than people directly from Africa in the US anyway, if you get my drift. The songs are awesome and more than a little inspiring, that is why I bought it. Negro Spirituals and the Blues are sisters under the skin anyway, they both use the pentatonic scale in the music as a rule, with similarity in the chords and tempos as well. One is the good preacher's daughter, and the other is the more wayward and wild one... Sorry if my words offend, they are not meant to in any way, just my opinion. Peace.Read full review
This hymnal is one of the best of its kinds. While it stays true to traditional content, the new hymns and arrangements are stellar and fresh. It's nice to honor the African-American tradition scored to perfection for generations to come. Shout out to all of the numerous contributions. This book will be on my Christmas list as gifts.

This hymnal is a fantastic resource for churches and church musicians. I have used several of the arangements for my small choir. It has hundreds of familiar tradtional hymns, as well as several popular selctions of the past couple of decades. The background information in the first pages is great.
