John Wesley Work III

JOHN WESLEY WORK III (1901-1967)
You May Bury Me in the East
Arranged for Unaccompanied Mixed Voices with Solo Contralto or Mezzo-Soprano
John Wesley Work III was the third in a line of distinguished choir directors, musicians, and ethnomusicologists whose mission became the collection and preservation of slave songs and spirituals. He became a leading expert on spirituals, while composing over 100 works of his own. Like his father before him, he became director of the Fisk Jubilee Singers, a group founded in 1871 to perform "slave songs" all around the world. "You May Bury Me in the East" was written during his years as director.
