Édition et traduction de l'anglais (États-Unis) par Marguerite Yourcenar

"Le live performance et le movie ont familiarisé le public européen avec l. a. musique des Negro Spirituals ; leurs paroles au contraire restent moins accessibles à l'auditeur de langue française, dépaysé, même s'il sait l'anglais, par ces formes dialectales propres aux nègres de États du Sud, ces mots anglo-saxons transformés et comme fondus par los angeles voix chaude des hommes de couleur.
