Product Description
Let Us Break Bread Together is an African-American folk song passed down through oral tradition in South Carolinas coastal communities. First transcribed by Nicholas George Ballanta-Taylor, an African ethnomusicologist, and published in his Negro Spirituals of Helenas Island (1925), it has become a hymn sung in many churches throughout the United States and beyond.
The tune became widely known after publication in The Second Book of Negro Spirituals (1926), compiled by brothers James Weldon Johnson and Rosamond Johnson, and it grew in popularity with its inclusion in many 20th-century hymnals and through various choral arrangements.
In this arrangement, trombone and organ each take a turn at the verse and refrain, then join together after a modulation up one step on verse, refrain and conclusion. Includes both bass clef and Bb treble clef solo parts.
