Kum Ba Yah

Using the familiar spiritual sung around many campfires, this arrangement preserves that invigorated spirit in an uptempo backbeat (boom-chick) rendition. The violin becomes utilized as a ukulele, held on its side while its strings are strummed across the fingerboard, while the piano performs the melody. The arrangement ends with a key change and embellished build to the final chord hit from both instruments. You and your audience will have lots of fun with this work! Violin part score included with purchase. Included in the collection "Great is Thy Faithfulness: Ten Sacred Hymns for Violin and Piano," a collaboration project with violinist Kelsei Peppars.
