Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child is traced back to the era of slavery.  It's an expression of pain and despair as the lyrics describe the hopelessness of a child torn from its parents.  Steal Away is a song with a coded message, not only about having faith in God, but messages about slaves running away to seek their freedom.  Sung softly in the dark of night, it was a signal that the coast was clear and now was the time to escape their bondage.  They sang hopefully:  Steal away, steal away, Steal away to Jesus! Steal away, steal away home, I ain't got long to stay here. (included in Brenda Dillon's African American Collection)About the arranger:  Brenda Dillon is best known for her contributions to the Recreational Music Making movement.  She served on the RMM Committee that designed the RMM Track for MTNA's Pedagogy Saturday.  She also presented group piano and RMM sessions throughout the U.S.  In addition to serving as a teacher trainer, she has written extensive articles on both group piano and RMM teaching.  She has publications with Hal Leonard and Alfred listed on her website (www.brendadillon.com).
