God's Trombones (Seven Negro Sermons in Verse) - Brass Parts

Gordon Myers combines a spectrum of musical styles and sonorities in "God's Trombones". The composer, using both homophony and polyphony, creates the image of a congregation (the chorus) responding to a preacher's sermon (baritone soloist). This masterful musical setting matches and enhances all the vibrancy of James Weldon Johnson's original poetry.I. Listen, Lord--A PrayerII. The CreationIII. The Prodigal SonIV. Go Down DeathV.
