Description:
This is a set of three spirituals that offer a fresh and thrilling take on a timeless theme and is part of the Rock My Soul Choral Series, co-edited by Brandon A. Boyd and Brandon Waddles, which celebrates the music of Black composers and the Black experience. The trilogy headlined under Heaven, My Home, includes Lord, I Just Can't Keep From Crying, I'm A Poor Lil' Orphan in Dis World, and Plenty Good Room, pieces accessible for advanced Tenor-Bass choirs. Waddles masterfully weaves a recurring theme of longing and searching for home, central to the Negro spiritual tradition. This trilogy reflects the balance between acknowledging harsh realities and holding onto hope for a brighter future.
