Albert J. McNeil Biographical Note
Albert John Joseph McNeil is an American choral conductor, ethnomusicologist, author, and founder of the Albert McNeil Jubilee
Singers. His career has been dedicated to upholding choral music traditions with the presentation of Negro spirituals and
concert music by African American composers. He is Professor Emeritus of Music at the University of California, Davis, where
he was director of choral activities for 22 years and headed the Music Education Program.
McNeil was born Alfredo Morales Sanchez on February 14, 1920 in Los Angeles, California. He was adopted by John and Rodia
McNeil, former vaudeville and minstrel show performers. He grew up in Watts, California with his two sisters, Dorothea and
Rena. He learned to play the piano and organ and played for numerous weddings, receptions, luncheons, etc. His original ambition
was to be a medical doctor, but his love of music led him to study in that field. At 17, was hired as the minister of music
for the People's Independent Church of Christ.
McNeil's adopted parents maintained friendships with a variety of musical and theatrical artists in Los Angeles, including
Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, and Lionel Hampton, as well as distinguished names in choral music such as Hall Johnson and
Jester Hairston.
He earned his undergraduate University of California, Los Angeles in 1942 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in music education
and teaching credentials in elementary and secondary education. Soon after, he was awarded his master's degree in choral conducting
from UCLA. While McNeil was a student at UCLA he directed the church choirs at the First Baptist Church and the People's Independent
Church of Christ.
He began his teaching career as a teacher of music in the elementary, junior and senior high schools in the Los Angeles Unified
School District. During his early years of teaching elementary school he was accepted into the Doctor of Musical Arts choral
conducting degree program at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. He continued his doctoral studies at the
Westminster Choir College and with a fellowship at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland.
McNeil was frequently called upon by Central Casting of Hollywood to be the on-set choral assistant whenever they needed black
singers or background actors, including Porgy and Bess, Carmen Jones, and The Land of the Pharaohs. It was from this group
of performers that the Albert McNeil Jubilee Singers would first be formed.
In 1953, McNeil married Helen Rambo. Their son, Richard "Ricky" John McNeil, was born 1959.
McNeil founded the Georgia Laster chapter of the National Association of Negro Musicians in 1961. Also served as NANM's Western
Regional Director for a time.
In 1968, McNeil was invited to teach courses in music education and direct the choral ensembles at the University of California
at Davis. He was the head of the music education program and director of choral activities for 21 years, took the UC Davis
chorus to England France Russia, china Tahiti and Australia. While at Davis, spent 10 years as the director for the Sacramento
Chorale and co-founded the Sacramento symphony chorus.
In addition to his teaching and work with the Jubilee Singers, McNeil was active in the church choir community. He was Minister
of Music at the Congregational Church of Christian Fellowship in Los Angeles for over 30 years, as well as the Director of
Music at the Founder's Church of Religious Science.
Throughout McNeil's career he was in high demand as an adjudicator and clinician. He was often invited to conduct children,
youth, and adult honor choirs and present interest sessions on the spirituals. He also co-authored and edited music education
textbooks for the Silver-Burdett-Ginn Publishing Company. He has served as a valued member on the board of directors for Chorus
America, the Los Angeles Master Chorale, and National Endowment for the Arts.
McNeil retired from UC Davis in 1990. In retirement, he devoted much of his time to the Albert McNeil Jubilee Singers and
their tours. In 2003, McNeil was inducted as a "Living Legend" into the California State University Dominguez Hills (CSUDH)
Georgia and Nolan Payton Archive of African Diaspora Sacred Music and Musicians (ADSMM). Later that same year, he was given
honorary Doctor of Music degrees from California State University at Northridge and in 2010 he was awarded the prestigious
Westminster Choir College of Rider University, New Jersey.
Albert McNeil Jubilee Singers Historical Note
The Albert McNeil Jubilee Singers (AMJS), known as "America's foremost Negro choir," have played a significant role in the
development of African American sacred music traditions in the United States and are among the most honored singing ensembles
in the world. The AMJS was founded by choral director Albert McNeil. McNeil was inspired by the story of the Fisk University
Jubilee Singers, an all black college choir founded in 1871, made up of four black men and seven black women who gained international
fame traveling throughout the United States and Europe giving concerts singing four-part a cappella arrangements of sacred
songs called spirituals.
In 1968, the AMJS went on their first European tour. Since then, they have travled the globe on 18 sold-out European tours,
12 tours of the United States and Canada, and tours of the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and South America. They were selected
three times to serve the U.S. State Department and USIS Cultural Exchange Program, traveling to East Germany, Hungary, Romania,
Poland, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Iran, India, North and West Africa, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates.
