By Oscar Peterson. By Oscar Peterson. Arranged by Chris Gorman. Jazz,Praise & Worship. Brass Band. 32 pages. Chris Gorman #690839. Published by Chris Gorman (A0.1086631).The piece was Oscar Peterson’s first major work and written with encouragement from his producer and dear friend Norman Granz. During those initial recording sessions, Granz urged Peterson to create a tune with a “definitive early-blues feel”. For inspiration, Peterson drew upon various church renderings of Negro spirituals recalled from his childhood in Montreal. He aimed to maintain the unadorned, yet poignant quality of these early Baptist hymns while composing the beginning chorus of Hymn to Freedom.
