Harry T. Burleigh : Nobody Knows the Trouble I see ; Were You There? (piano solo)

Some years ago I accompanied a song recital made up entirely of Harry Thacker Burleigh's negro spiritual arrangements. Recently I was given a battered Burleigh song album, and thought that I would adapt a couple of the songs for piano - with minimal changes (other than of register) from the vocal and piano parts as writ. Burleigh (1866-1949) was an African American singer, composer and arrangement, who was an important associate of Dvorak during his time in the USA. Burleigh introduced Dvorak to the negro spiritual canon, but in turn was very heavily influenced by Dvorak's compositional style. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk Email: [email protected] http://www.psear.co.uk (Email: [email protected] ) Upcoming live events: https://events.time.ly/hsr9pfk YouTube community tab: https://is.gd/SV4II9 ------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk (Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: http://wa.me/441444483794 )
