There Is a Balm in Gilead

A beautiful setting of the traditional spiritual, this treble arrangement employs a cascading harmonic figure that expands from unison all the way to a perfect fourth and a rocking feel that embodies the feeling of a balm. Updated by a scholarly committee dedicated to Dr. Barnwell's works, this version includes a keyboard reduction, additional dynamics, and notes on the piece. It has also been transposed up a minor third from the original key, making it accessible to school, church, and community choirs of a variety of ages.
