Coffee Grows on Black Sheep (2018)

​Coffee Grows on Black Sheep (2018) uses three American Folk Melodies and a well-known hymn melody as the basis for the composition. The melodies have been distorted and combined in order to disguise exactly which melodies are being used. A discerning listener familiar with American Folk Music should be able to identify the melodies used, particularly towards the end of the composition.
