Rosephanye Powell: The Cry of Jeremiah: Mixed Choir And Accomp.

Commissioned by the American Guild of Organists for their 2012 convention, here is the first major work from the pen of Rosephanye Powell. With text from the Book of Jeremiah, the four movements follow the prophet's feelings of abandonment and redemption by God. Powell combines this ancient text with music that draws simultaneously from the African American musical heritage, as well as the classical music traditions.
