Afrocentric Voices Forum: Open Discussion: H. T. Burleigh arrangements of Negro Spirituals

Are there any copies of H. T. Burleigh's arrangements of Negro Spirituals for Solo Voice
currently available? I have a single copy of his arrangement of "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child".

The copyright was assigned in 1969 to Belwin, Inc.
of Rockville Centre, NY but I have been unable to find anything about them on the Internet so far.

Your best bet might be to get a collection (it's less expensive, too, in the long run). Many of his spiritual arrangements are available in

The Spirituals of Harry T. Burleigh. Miami, FL: Belwin Mills, 1984. High and Low voice eds.

I believe it was reissued in 1996, as well. Your local music store might have it. Or, if you just want to view "Sometimes I feel like a motherless child," you could try interlibrary loan.

Good luck in your search.
