Six beloved African-American spirituals are reimagined in these expressive contemporary arrangements by Victor Labenske. Drawing on gospel, jazz, lyrical, and traditional pianistic styles, each setting preserves the character of its familiar melody while exploring fresh harmonies, textures, and rhythmic possibilities. Together, the pieces offer the intermediate pianist a collection filled with reflection, joy, hope, and conviction. Titles: We Shall Walk Through the Valley in Peace • He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands • Climbing Up the Mountain, Children • I Want to Be Ready • Shine Medley • My Lord, What a Morning
