Rosephanye Powell: The Cry of Jeremiah: Mixed Choir and Accomp.: Parts

Commissioned by the American Guild of Organists for their 2012 convention here is the first major work from the pen of Rosephanye Powell. With text from the Book of Jeremiah the four movements follow the prophet's feelings of abandonment and redemption by God. Powell combines this ancient text with music that draws simultaneously from the African American musical heritage as well as the classical music traditions.

Commissioned by the National AGO Rosephanye created THE CRY OF JEREMIAH for choir organ and orchestra. The 4 movement work has been a tremendous success also available with a reduced percussion accompaniment. This is the dynamic opening movement which demands our attention from start to finish. A great anthem for church or concert.
