Born out of the sufferings of Black people during slavery, spirituals express sorrow, hope, despondency, faith, and joy. These songs reflect the conditions in which slaves found themselves and are relevant to the conditions in which we all find ourselves at various times in our lives. Norah Duncan IV arranged these pieces during such conditions, as the pandemic raged and Black Lives Matter marches exploded throughout our country in the summer of 2020.

While retaining the essence of these spirituals, Norah has raised them to the category of art songs, making this collection an amazing source of repertoire for the gifted singer.
