Harry T. Burleigh was a student of Antonin Dvořák, a composer, a baritone, an arranger of Spirituals, and a musical leader in the Episcopal Church. He is commemorated on September 11 of each year in Holy Women, Holy Men: Celebrating the Saints. Burleigh is the arranger of the hymn tune McKee in our Episcopal Hymnal 1982. The tune is used for Hymn # 529, “In Christ There Is No East or West.”
The playlist includes two of Burleigh’s classic art song settings of Spirituals: Deep River and Steal Away to Jesus.
