Graham Buckland has arranged a rich variety of spirituals in this edition for variable instrumental ensemble. This edition consists of a full score and five individual instrumental parts. The full score includes a part of piano, keyboard or guitar and also contains the texts to the spirituals for a singer. In some cases additional vocal parts ad libitum are added. All arrangements are compatible with the edition for choir \03264 Spirituals a cappella\032 (BA 7574).
The parts include: • Melody I in C and Bb (violin clef) • Melody II in C and Bb (violin clef) • Melody III in C (violin clef; bass clef) • Melody III in C and F (viola clef; horn part) • Melody III in Bb and Eb (violin clef).
