Published by Philip Le Bas (A0.1823649).A new setting of the popular African-American Spiritual "Nobody knows the trouble I see" arranged for TTBB barbershop quartet by Philip Le Bas.
There are at least two major melodies of this song and many versions of each. The arranger has here taken the version used by Michael Tippett in his "A Child of our Time" Oratorio and made it his own. It is designed to be relatively easy to sing, while retaining its vitality and rhythmic drive.
