Barnwell features three original compositions and one traditional song arrangement by each of the five singing members. The songs are presented in choral score for easy use by vocal ensembles. Also includes a moving foreword by Harry Belafonte, an introduction by Horace Clarence Boyer, the group's “Her-story,” a discography with albumcovers, photos, and extensive composer's and performance notes. Availab le: SATB divisi a cappella. Also available: “Singing in the African-American Tradition” taught by Ysaye M. Barnwell with George Brandon.
