about
"This Little Light of Mine" was one of Fannie Lou Hamer's favorite songs. Her life and work were the inspiration for the new musical Fannie Lou, which premiered October 2012 in New York City. The music set for downloading here is a unique take on "This Little Light of Mine." The legato beginning is thoughtful and introspective. The folkish middle portion is upbeat, with staccato strokes. The latter third takes on another varied personality, with doubled, flattened and bended notes.
Please feel free to download this rendition for your own arts, educational, historical or nonprofit event, if you like, or just for your own personal use. If used for an event, just please give productionperformance credit. Thanks.
Thank you for taking time to listen to this rendition of "This Little Light of Mine." For more information about "Scenes and Songs from Fannie Lou," please visit our website at www.fannieloumusical.com.
