Wall - Let Us Break Bread Together for Woodwind Quintet

Let Us Break Bread Together, arranged for Woodwind Quintet by Bob Wall. "Let Us Break Bread Together” is a traditional African American spiritual rooted in the Gullah Geechee culture of coastal South Carolina, with an early printed version appearing in 1925. Its text centers on Christian communion, humility, and collective worship, with the recurring image of kneeling in prayer and facing the rising sun. The spiritual gained wider circulation through The Second Book of Negro Spirituals (1926), compiled by brothers James Weldon Johnson and J. Rosamond Johnson, and has since become a familiar hymn in church services and choral arrangements. Published by Cimarron Music Press.
