Program Notes

Some of America's most beloved folk melodies have been crafted into a work rich in musicality and strong in general appeal. The recurring strains of Swing Low, Sweet Chariot are woven together with Wayfaring Stranger, followed by a sensitive treatment of Steal Away. The piece then closes with a rousing gospel version of Every time I Feel the Spirit.
