Kumbaya
$5.00
a cappella SATB – African American spiritual – arr. Peter Amidon
Kumbaya - take 2
50% of the fee goes to supporting Black musicians and music.
You get a pdf of the score and an mp3 recording of the arrangement, really just a simple harmonization. “Kumbaya, Lord” (“Come by here, Lord”) has an interesting history and reputation. I like going back to its roots: the Gullah culture off the coast of South Carolina and Georgia where it is an appeal to God to come help those in need.
Kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya (3X)
Oh Lord, kumbaya.
Someones crying, Lord . . .
Someone’s singing, Lord . . .
Someone’s praying, Lord . . .
