Lullay, My Liking by Gustav Holst
Trouble Don't Last Always arr. Leotha Stanley I'm so glad Trouble don't last always. May not come when you want Him But He's on time In times of trouble, I found Him to be A friend of mine When storm clouds rise in your life He'll be there, All your burdens I know the Lord will help you to bear. Weeping may endure for a night Keep the faith it will be alright. Excerpt from our program notes by Dr. Robert Gehrenbeck: “In 1977, gospel pianist Thomas Whitfield (1954-1992) founded The Thomas Whitfield Company in Detroit, one of the most influential gospel ensembles in the history of the genre. The Whitfield company pioneered a new style of gospel music with its “inventive blending of gospel, jazz, and classical harmonies, progressions, and forms,” according to composer, conductor, and Whitfield scholar, Brandon Christian Waddles. The Whitfield Company’s choral sound was praised for its warmth, precision, nuance, and dramatic power, making it the perfect vehicle to realize Whitfield’s new focus on emotional connection in gospel lyrics. Waddles continues, “Whitfield’s art-song-like interpretation of lyricism unveiled the intimacy of gospel music, setting the stage for [the] Black praise and worship [movement].” As an arranger and producer, Whitfield introduced elaborate, orchestral textures into the gospel genre. Besides his own recordings, he arranged and produced early recordings by Vanessa Bell Armstrong and Yolanda Adams, effectively launching the careers of these contemporary gospel superstars. His arrangements for Aretha Franklin resulted in multiple Grammy awards, in addition to those he won with his own ensemble.”

Praise the Lord, Everybody arranged by Leotha Stanley Excerpt from our program notes by Dr. Robert Gehrenbeck: “Gospel singer and composer O’Landa Draper (1963-1998) was born in Memphis, where he founded the Associates, one of the leading gospel ensembles of the 1990s. The choir performed with a wide range of artists including Billy Joel and B. B. King, and was nominated for five Grammy Awards. Draper’s final album with the Associates, Reflections, recorded shortly before his death, won a Grammy in 1999.”
