A choral arrangement of the African-American spiritual.
This spiritual has its roots in slavery in the U.S. when
children of slaves were sold and taken away from their
parents. Slaves were bought and sold at the will of their
owners, without regard for their families or feelings. Babies
were taken from parents and mothers and fathers were
taken from children. Husbands and wives were separated.
"Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long ways from home
A long ways from home."
