My biggest takeaway from this course was how much gospel music and spirituals have effected modern day music, and how much we can see aspects of it in all music. I personally have studied a lot of music theory in my life, so learning where certain things derived from was really interesting to me! My favorite artist I discovered from this course was Blind Willie Davis because I really liked learning his story and how blind people were able to find a community. I chose the song Rock of Ages for this assignment, as it was one of his songs that got recreated by a quartet which I thought was really cool.
