Published by ©Z.M. Barnes & Rising Lark Music (A0.924271). Mary Had a Little Baby is a traditional spiritual that came from the gospel music of the African-American community. With its infectious rhythm and easy, jazz-like accompaniment, it can fit into the community concert, church service, or other occasions. It can also be interpreted with a larger meaning, slower, more varied, allowing the listeners to think of Mary rocking her little lamb now ushered into a dangerous world. To the question, What you gonna call that baby? comes the affirmation: King Emmanuel. A spiritual carol that will be appreciated by everyone.
