Lonesome Valley So2 Sc/pts

From a plaintive and prayerful opening in solo violin, this arrangement of a well-known spiritual builds in power and emotion with each successive verse.  The melody passes between voices, and frequent and varied countermelodies are employed throughout, providing ensembles the chance to work on balance of parts.  One key change, from G to D, should pose little difficulty.  A rich and nuanced selection to challenge your ensemble's musicality!
