Dedicated to Eveline Kuhn and Arash Amini, this work follows in the fashion of Gerber's earlier work Spirituals for strings, with or without clarinet solo. Rather than being simple arrangements, this is a collection of short butstrikingly original and stylized fantasias based on well-known spirituals.
