I Know My Time Ain't Long
A cappella
The piece is a combination of two 19th-century spirituals, Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child and I Don't Feel Like I'se Anyways Tired, sparked by listening to the John and Ruby Lomax collection from the Library of Congress. The style is modeled on several African-American ensemble traditions heard in the Lomax collection and in the singing of the a cappella ensemble Sweet Honey in the Rock.
