This Medley is the second in a series of Spirituals Medleys. In each medley, three or four familiar spirituals are nicely reconfigured and linked together in medley format. In this medley, the spirituals include I Am a Poor Wayfarin' Stranger, There Is a Balm in Gilead, He's Got the Whole World, and Ain't a That Good News. The music progresses from an introspective I Am a Poor Wayfarin' Stranger, to a brighter There Is a Balm in Gilead, and grows to the final two joyful and exuberant spirituals. A tambourine part adds a nice dance-like feel in the joyful sections. Your instrumentalists and audiences will very much enjoy this piece. Additional parts are provided for the alternative instruments - tenor sax (for trombone), and bass guitar (for euphonium). A great alternative configuration for the standard brass quartet consists of 2 trumpets, tenor sax, and bass guitar.
