Andrés Wheatley, deeply rooted in the tradition of the Spiritual, brought to these arrangements both the authenticity of his cultural heritage and the cosmopolitan sensibilities shaped by his life abroad. Paris, at mid-century, was a haven for African American artists, writers, and musicians. In this setting, Wheatley’s work flourished, blending the emotional depth and historical weight of the Spiritual with refined harmonic and structural elements drawn from the European classical tradition. The resulting arrangements not only preserve the integrity of the original melodies but also illuminate their universal resonance for audiences across cultures and generations.
