Abstrakt: Abstract:This analytical essay focuses on Burleigh's creation of an atmosphere of restlessness in his arrangement of the spiritual "Sometimes I Feel like a Motherless Child," giving attention to aspects of texture, chromaticism, and ambiguity. Further, it argues that certain chromatic processes operate at levels below the musical surface and invite appreciation from a structural perspective.
