Spiritual Quodlibets I-V: arr. Ysaye M. Barnwell
(Mixed A Cappella)

From Ysaye M. Barnwell:
"Quodlibet is defined as a form of music with melodies in counterpoint. Included here are 5 quodlibets composed using the melodies of a number of Spirituals. I began creating Spiritual Quodlibets in the mid 1980's when I first conducted the Building a Vocal Community Workshop. Not only were they fun to create, but they proved an efficient way to teach the melodies and themes of many Spirituals, and a very natural way to get singers to understand, appreciate and perform counterpoint and polyrhythms. I teach these quodlibets in the oral/aural tradition, but I recognize that many choirs do not learn music that way. Oral presentation can be found in the instructional sets:
