John Carter offers reflective settings on ten well-known Traditional Spirituals. As always with John, these arrangements are creative, full of interest and eminently accessible. Mary Kay Beall offers brief poetic commentary for each spiritual, reflecting on these treasures from our musical heritage. These text passages could be read aloud before the performance or printed in a church bulletin.
