Spirituals & Gospel Selections
n All My Trialsarr. Gwyneth Walker. A very
poignant song. Phrases such as "Hush little baby,
don't you cry, you know your mama was born to
die," or "Oh my brothers, I must leave you here
behind," view the approach of death in terms of
those left behind. The accompaniment of repeated
eighth-note chords is marked as if trembling or
sobbing. Although the harmonic language is tonal
and consonant almost entirely throughout the song,
a few dissonances appear near the end, reflecting
the pain of parting.

interest. The optional shaker and conga parts are a
great addition! Highly recommended!

that is sure to please your singers and audience.
