Toccata on MCKEE by Harry T. Burleigh Organ - Sheet Music

Organ - Late intermediate

SKU: GI.G-11151

Composed by Harry T. Burleigh. Arranged by Yasmin Phillip. Tune Name: Mckee. Sacred. 4 pages. GIA Publications #11151. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-11151).

The tune McKEE originated as an Irish melody that was brought to the United States, adapted by African American slaves, and became associated with the spiritual "I Know the Angels Done Changed My Name." The melody as we know it was later adapted by the prominent African American composer and songwriter Harry T. Burleigh. Brief, yet festive, this arrangement is perfect as a postlude or for celebratory settings. The melody is primarily featured in the pedal, creating a unique and deeply resonant sound that is heightened with each modulation.
