Description:
The transcription of melodies contained in this collection has been praised as "the most complete expression of Mr. Coleridge-Taylor's native bent and power." Using native songs of Africa and the West Indies with those that came into being in America during slavery, he has preserved their distinctive characteristics and individuality, while giving them an art form fully infused with their musical essence. Available in three volumes, book 2 includes melodies from America. Included in Book 2: 1. The angels changed my name; 2. Deep river; 3. Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel?; 4. Don't be weary, traveler; 5. Going up; 6. I'm troubled in mind; 7. I was way down a-yonder (Dum-a-lum); 8. let us cheer the weary traveler. Reprint edition.
