by Rosephanye Powell For singer-songwriter-arranger-producer Rosephanye Powell (pronounced ro-SEH-fuh-nee, like "Stephanie"), the concept for the CD project MOTHERLESS CHILD began in 2002, and was an outgrowth of many years of researching, performing, lecturing and arranging African-American spirituals as a student, classical singer, educator, and composer. Her passion for preserving the spiritual and its legacy has been captured in this highly artistic, enlightening and entertaining CD. In Motherless Child, Dr. Powell presents the spiritual, not as a historical folk music, but as contemporary music that is relative to the everyday experiences of contemporary Americans.
