Motherless Child (a slide show in the time of COVID-19)

Motherless Child, spiritual arranged by Tim Harbold. Slide show inspired by the battle against COVID 19.
During this battle against COVID-19, people across the globe are facing profound losses of so many kinds. Personal to me, and close to my heart, my choral world is grieving deeply our loss -- for now -- of the life-giving and nurturing gift of singing together, breathing as one, and spinning music out of the very air. The spiritual "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child" has been on my mind lately, speaking to the pain of lost lives, but also our acute feelings of disorientation and displacement. As always, I look to song to work out my deepest emotions, and in this project I have paired a recording from a few years back with searing images of the day. Perhaps my effort to grapple with my own emotions will resonate with you, too. ~Tim Harbold
