Kum Ba Yah

This fresh, imaginative setting breathes new life into a familiar and well-known African American spiritual. In the first section of this arrangement, the steady rhythmic pattern of the bass bells provides a dynamic contrast to the slowly shifting harmonies that backdrop the melody. The second section then uses the melody to divide the higher and lower bells into separate rhythmic groups. The music then repeats back to the first section, ending with a final joyful punctuation of sound. Performers and audiences alike will be enthralled with this delightful adaptation, a festive and joyous addition to any concert or service.
