Tenor with Piano Quintet-Commissioned and recorded twice by tenor William Brown Through This Vale of Tears is a kind of social commentary on the death of Dr. King. As described by the Atlanta Journal Constitution “Mr. Baker's piece set a varietyof texts in a cornucopia of styles including scat spiritual and chorale. Miraculously this diversity cohered producing a multi-dimensional work filled with grief humor and hope.” Set includes 1 full score and stringparts; individual scores may also be purchased separately (LKMP# X081022).
