Program Notes

Faces of Kum Ba Yah was commissioned in 1978 by the Lutheran Collegiate Music Association, an organization of choir and band directors within the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod.

The spirit of the text and the simplicity of the melody of "Kum Ba Yah" interested me and I therefore decided to compose a piece which was representative of the various moods or faces of the text; someone's laughing, someone's praying, someone's crying, etc.
