Troubled Waters

Description

Black composer Margaret Bonds composed "Troubled Water" for piano.

As Joel Fan describes in the comments on recorded performance on YouTube, "The poet Maya Angelou described "Troubled Water" as one of Margaret Bonds masterpieces. Based on the spiritual "Wade in the Water", Margaret Bonds conveys the power, and the emotional history of a form of communication used between slaves. A very spiritual piece, and one of my favorites. Visit my blogpost to learn more about her, and hear more of her incredible music."
