Product Description

Were You There is a beautiful spiritual arranged here for Solo Cello and Piano.

Were You There was first published in 1899 but its origins stretch back into the nineteenth century. Like many spirituals there are coded references to the Afro- American experience. The mention of crucifixion in such songs was often associated with the lynchings that were a common occurrence right into the late twentieth century.

The standard is early intermediate. Players with a year or twos experience will enjoy playing Were You There. This gospel hymn is ideal for use in concerts or worship, formal or informal. The piano score and separate instrumental part are combined in one pdf file. Click on the link above to listen to a full YouTube performance of this gospel hymn on clarinet.
