ABOUT THE TRANSCRIPTION
I. Valley of the Bones (3’)
II. The Bells (4’)
III. Troubled Water (5’)
Score is transposed.
Spiritual Suite for piano by Margaret Bonds has existed in multiple editions since the third movement Troubled
Water was first published as a standalone work by Sam Fox Publishing Company in 1967. Decades later, Louise
Toppin uncovered that Troubled Water was in fact the final movement of the larger Spiritual Suite. Videmus Music
published the complete work in 2020 in an edition by Toppin, followed by an arrangement of Troubled Water for cello
and piano in 2023. While this wind ensemble transcription is primarily based on the original version for piano,
several ideas are borrowed from the arrangement for cello and piano.
Particular adaptations were necessary for the work to be successful for wind ensemble. Bonds includes very few
tempi in her manuscript, and recordings of the Spiritual Suite make heavy use of rubato. I strongly encourage
conductors to study the existing versions and listen to the performances listed below to inform their own
interpretation. My hope is that this transcription brings wind band audiences to the music of Margaret Bonds. The
premiere of this version by The University of Texas Wind Ensemble took place on October 13, 2024, with the
arranger conducting.
