12 American Spirituals (LHS)

Arr. by H.T. Burleigh - Trans. by Ruth Freedman
LHS Downloadable
Product ID – 700796-100PDF

$25.00

Celebrating 100 Years of American Spirituals preserved by H.T. Burleigh.

Transcribed by: Ruth Freedman
Edited by: Danielle Kuntz

“Over 30 years ago, in a small music shop, I found a collection of African-American spirituals. And then I played the music…

I have played it ever since – as well as Mr. Burleigh’s other arrangements, to add to my collection (should a singer be interested). Gradually, I saw many of these as concert variations on a theme: worthy of adaption to solo harp – even without words. I learned that this man was an American hero and felt that I had discovered gold!

I think you will too.”

~Ruth Freedman

Ruth Freedman

Ruth Freedman, born in Los Angeles, CA, in 1937, picked up a harp one day while she was studying nursing at the University of Nevada at Reno, and it became a life-long hobby. During her 10 years as a nurse on Molokai at Kalaupapa, she discovered her true calling – harp therapy. Ruth took refuge in her harp while caring for her father who had Alzheimer’s, playing for him throughout his condition. Although Ruth has helped many people with her music, she has said that, in a way, it is just as therapeutic for her. Aside from harp therapy, Ruth has performed at other venues and events – providing beautiful harp music for particular seasons and occasions.
