Were You There by African-American Spiritual Piano Solo - Digital Sheet Music
By African-American SpiritualThis gentle, traditional treatment of the well-known Easter hymn is expressed with the utmost curiosity and humbleness. The difficulty of the key selection allows for a new level of the melody’s intrinsic and musical prowess while remaining familiar that can still be understood by all. Modulations and a key change progress into a contemporary harmonic revoicing and elaborative setting, before returning to the original key maintaining these elements. The arrangement’s conclusion creates a chromatic dramaticism that fully express the lasting impact of the Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection.
