TUBA MIRUM- The Changes

Jazz is merely the Negroes cry of Joy & Suffering

INTROIT- Joy n’ Suff’rin

Jazz is the musical expression of the triumph of the Negroes Spirit

KYRIE ELEISON- Lawd Hav’ Merci

This endless repetition is like a Chain around the Spirit. And is a reflection of the denial of a future to the Negro in the American way of life

DIAS IRE- Chain Around the Spirit

Another restraining factor in Jazz are the changes

The Negro experiences the endless daily humiliation of American life which bequeaths him a Futureless Future
