For advanced intermediate to more advanced performers, the styles are influenced by Traditional, Jazz and Gospel interpretations.

An accessible arrangement of the Christmas Spiritual, it can be sung a cappella, or with choral parts played lightly on a keyboard instrument. The solo lines could be allocated to different choir members. It is suitable for church services and concerts in the Christmas season.
Choral Music for Black History Month
“I’m so happy that Evelyn Larter has created this wonderful and much-needed collection of hymn arrangements for piano trio. She has a knack for writing that is easy to put together, yet lacks nothing in terms of harmonic, melodic, and instrumental depth. I find her work deeply moving, spiritual, and satisfying.”
David Kim, Concertmaster,
The Philadelphia Orchestra
“Evelyn’s work is just wonderful. All her compositions and arrangements are a tribute to her commitment to enhance the worship and prayer life of anyone who hears them.”
