Teresa Young‘s arrangement of the hauntingly beautiful African-American hymn (Sometimes I Feel Like a) Motherless Child for piano and voice is spare but powerful. Set in A minor, the piano accompaniment sets the mood and complements the sung melody rather than doubling it. The left-hand part uses the lowest register of the piano, helping to convey the heavy weight of this lament first sung unaccompanied by enslaved workers in the American South.

a long way from home,
a long, long way from home.
