Description
The deeply soulful and melancholy spiritual Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child is reimagined in this unique arrangement by Dennis Armitage. While starting with the expected sorrowful and lyrical character, Armitage’s setting includes a surprising and effective swing section, bringing a modern jazz-inflected perspective to the traditional tune. This edition includes alternate bass clef Trombone parts. It is a sophisticated and stylistically diverse work that offers a fresh take on a classic spiritual, showcasing the band’s versatility.
