We'll Be There!
American Spirituals, Black and White, 1800-1900

"“[We'll Be There] was beautiful and vibrant to hear.. exciting and revealing." - New York Classical Review, 2022
 
The Camerata continues its trailblazing exploration of the American spiritual tradition, with folk hymns derived from English and Celtic folklore, African-derived call-and-shout group songs, links in the Black tradition to the experience of slavery, reminiscences of the Civil War, and shared celebrations of striving, freedom, and salvation.
