�The Negro Spiritual is one of the most precious gems of the African American folk music tradition.� So begins the introduction to this volume by arranger and composer Uzee Brown Jr. This collection of eight spirituals for solo voice and piano is designed as both a recital set for an accomplished soloist and for use throughout the Christian year during the appropriate seasons with songs for Christmas, Lent, Easter, and general praise. Standards in the concert repertoire of American singers, these arrangements are sure to delight audiences and congregations alike.
