A prayerful song welling up from the depths of the soul
A world-renowned soprano singer breathes life into African American spirituals, the songs that are her roots.
Jessye Norman's overwhelming vocal power and deep emotion elevate the simple melody into a majestic work of art. The interplay with the choir further highlights the earnestness and power of the prayer. While employing classical techniques, this is a masterful performance that directly conveys the soul's cry at the very heart of the music.
