About this arrangement

Piano Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1379530 By Henrietta Atkin. By African-American Spirituals. Arranged by Henrietta Atkin. Christian,Easter,Religious,Spiritual. Score. 7 pages. Henrietta Atkin #964235. Published by Henrietta Atkin (A0.1379530). These two African-American spirituals ("Calvary" and "They Crucified My Lord (And He Never Said A Mumbalin' Word)") are rarely arranged as piano preludes for church.Yet their lyrics, and thus the reflection they invoke, could hardly be more fitting for Good Friday services and masses. Composed by unknown enslaved persons, who were all too familiar with physical agony and pain, these spirituals shed an immediate light on the crucifixion and death of Jesus.Both pieces are set with lush harmonies, with a different iteration of the melody in each of their three parts. Reflective, poignant, powerful and prayerful, each arrangement is appropriate for Good Friday liturgies, as reflections during The Seven Last Words of Christ, and preludes during masses for suffering people worldwide. This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard’s global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
