About Songs of the Spirit
Jericho Youth Choir, performing alongside London Jazz Choir and High Holborn Chamber Choir, invites you to the Oxford première of Songs of the Spirit jazz choral work by Jazz Professor and composer Scott Stroman.
The piece consists of ten distinctive movements, which draw upon a range of musical influences originating in gospel, funk and contemporary jazz modal writing. The text is a mixture of original lyrics by the composer and arrangements of Swahili traditional songs.
The concert will be directed by Music Director Rachel Maby and accompanied by a professional jazz piano trio.
