A Long Way From Home (FJH)
Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child
Composer: African-American Spiritual
Arranger: Carrie Lane Gruselle
Publisher: FJH Music Company
Series: FJH String Orchestra
Stock Code: ST6469
This piece by Keith Baird reflects the sounds of the jungles and plains of Africa. The simple melody is supported by a rhythmic, easy keyboard accompaniment that can be even more effective when using "log drum" sounds on a synthesizer. A fun, well-crafted ensemble piece for beginning level players that features imitation between sections, simple harmony in parallel lines, and bold, modal sonorities. As always, Kenneth Baird creates interesting parts for all players.

For adaptable string ensemble. An exciting venture into the world of bluegrass based on one of the composer's most popular works for band. (2:45)
This outstanding pair of contrasting movements moves from a plaintive and pleading Larghetto to an Allegro with all the cheer and sparkle one can imagine. An exceptional opportunity to work on the music of Handel while providing a wealth of opportunities for musical development! (5:15)
