It is available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right wp-block-paragraph\"><aside class=\"highlight highlight-right\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.navonarecords.com\/catalog\/nv6898\/\"><strong>Listen here<\/strong><\/a><\/aside><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The nine-track album features Berry\u2019s solo piano compositions based on beloved spirituals such as \u201cJoshua Fought the Battle of Jericho,\u201d \u201cNobody Knows the Trouble I\u2019ve Seen,\u201d \u201cGo Down, Moses,\u201d and \u201cSwing Low, Sweet Chariot,\u201d as well as a special improvisation on \u201cLift Every Voice and Sing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese are songs I\u2019ve known practically my whole life,\u201d Berry said. \u201cAll of this music has deep meaning for me, and so it\u2019s definitely been an engaging and emotional process writing these pieces, contemplating the lyrics of these spirituals, and interpreting them in sound.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Berry began working on the project in November, shortly before his sabbatical last semester. He had already written several of the pieces for recitals and other performances at EMU and seen how popular they were. When people began asking where they could find recordings of his reimagined spirituals, he saw an opportunity to turn them into his solo debut album. He recorded the tracks in January at GBH Fraser Performance Studio in Boston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Berry\u2019s style, praised as \u201ctouchingly introspective\u201d by Gramophone, blends the power, sweep, and virtuosity of the classical piano tradition with elements of various Black music styles, according to the album\u2019s description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese songs came organically from my soul and from all the music that lives in me,\u201d Berry said. \u201cYou hear the influences of composers like Liszt and Rachmaninoff, but you also hear the sound of the blues, of gospel music, and jazz.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result, Berry said, is \u201ca human journey of emotion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThose feelings we carry with us of perseverance through adversity, sorrow, grief, joy, isolation, community, all of those things,\u201d he said. \u201cEvery sort of feeling you can imagine is in these spirituals. And that\u2019s what the title tries to encapsulate: <em>Spirit, Body and Soul<\/em>. Those are the ingredients for this project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Album release concert<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An album release concert on Friday, Oct. 2, at 7 p.m. at EMU\u2019s Lehman Auditorium will feature Berry\u2019s piano compositions alongside vocal performances from local singers he has worked with in the Harrisonburg area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This concert is sponsored by <a href=\"https:\/\/usa.yamaha.com\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Yamaha Music USA<\/a>, who will be providing a special Yamaha CSX 9-foot concert grand piano for the concert in collaboration with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.downtownpianoworks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Downtown Piano Works<\/a>\u00a0of Frederick, Maryland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019ll be a fun celebration of my work as an artist, but also of how this project was birthed through this community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Berry plans to release the sheet music for his compositions at <a href=\"http:\/\/davidberrypiano.com\"><strong>davidberrypiano.com<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information about the album, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/navonarecords.com\/catalog\/nv6898\"><strong>navonarecords.com\/catalog\/nv6898<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Hear Dr. Berry talk about the inspiration behind &#8220;Spirit, Body and Soul.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"David Berry -
