The Georgia Spiritual Ensemble gives powerful performances of these beautiful arrangements of favorite spirituals.

The Negro Spiritual is still vibrant, popular and well-loved all over the world. The Georgia Spiritual Ensemble was formed to maintain the tradition of the Spiritual and to pass on to young singers the awesome power and beauty that is inherent in each melody. The George Spiritual Ensemble also wants to demonstrate through their performances the unyielding faith of the Africans who created these songs. The Spirituals became their voice of protest and their voice of endurance, strength, and courage.

Review:
"…The standard of performance throughout is impeccable. Caught in a close recording (entirely apt for this repertoire), the small group of six singers is clearly immersed in this music…The virtuoso credentials of this ensemble are fully on display in the astonishingly together diction, at speed, in Poor Man Lazarus…There is joy, sadness and hope on display in this program; the enthusiasm of the performers is positively infectious." (Fanfare)
