"My Lord What a Mornin" is one of many anonymous spirituals sung in the fields and in worship by African-American slaves in the 19th century. In this setting, sonorites of the band are utilized which express a longing for the end of time, when there would be no sorrow, no pain. The last line of the refrain, When the Stars Began to Fall, serves as the title for this setting.
