about

Welcome one and all to another #TuneUpThursdays cover of music sung by Sine Nomine, the male acapella group I sang with through my late teens and early twenties.

This week's song was one of our mainstay pieces for a few years, back in our "Negro Spiritual" phase. It's short, but sweet, and has a very nice melody.

When I decided to cover this piece, I took a quick look at the Bruce Pullan handwritten arrangement. I realized that since Ken had always sung the solo for this song, so I never had the solo verses written down.

I emailed Bruce last week, asking for the solo verses so I could record the song for today. In his email, he replied that I could get it from a YouTube video. "A terrible performance, but the lyrics are all correct" he said.

I couldn't agree more with your assessment of the video Bruce, and I hope not only does this cover do you proud, but you can now use it as an example the next time someone asks you for its lyrics.

Please enjoy my cover of the negro spiritual "Humble", as sung by Sine Nomine, and arranged by Bruce Pullan.

And as always, if you like what you hear, please share with your friends and family.

Side note: I love to collaborate!!! If you'd like to record a Tune-Up Thursdays track with me, just drop me a line at Aerhyn.Lau@gmail.com and we'll work on something together to record!

If you have an acapella arrangement of a song you've been working on, please share it with me and i'll do a recording of it!
