Since the late nineteenth century, the tradition of gathering together at singing conventions to "make a joyful noise unto the Lord" has been an important part of the social and cultural life of many Georgians. The vocal and instrumental renditions heard at these conventions, first referred to as gospel music, is now known as southern gospel music. - Metadata URL:
