The latest recording in the African American Church Music Series, The Lord Is My Light, is simply bursting with a wonderful array of music: anthems with organ and trumpets, a hymn arrangement, gospel selections in contemporary and traditional styles, and lesser- known a cappella spirituals by composers/ arrangers Clayton White, Uzee Brown Jr., and the pioneer of the concert Negro spiritual, Harry T.
