My Lord, What a Morning

for SATB a cappella choir with soprano solo

MICHAL DAWSON CONNOR · My Lord What A Morning Spiritual Arr Michal Connor

This early Nineteenth Century melody literally throbs with the pathos and dreams of an enslaved people,
looking heavenward for deliverance. Scored for a cappella SATB choir, and soprano solo, this lush arrangement makes one stop in awe and wonderment, at such beauty born from the deepest despair.
