Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child

Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child

Ryan Dignan

Grade 1.5

If Santana did a version of a spiritual, scored with a jazz band, it would sound something like this. Lots of doubling make this chart a cinch for almost any instrumentation, and it has a groove that won't quit. Doable with 2 tpts, 2 altos, 1 tenor, 1 trombone, piano (with bass doubled), and drums. Optional instrumentation parts for Flute, Clarinet, Baritone, F Horn, Tuba and Vibes.
