Margaret Bonds: Hand Me Down, performed by Shana Mashego and Patrick Merrill

The spiritual "Hand Me Down" was famously sung by Mahalia Jackson on her first day of Sunday School after her arrival in Chicago in 1927, and Langston Hughes would later use it in his play Tambourines to Glory (1956). The date of Margaret Bonds's setting is unclear, although certain features of the autographs suggest that it dates from the early 1950s. It was first published in Margaret Bonds: Five Spiritual Songs in High and Low Keys, ed. John Michael Cooper ([Ann Arbor]: Videmus, 2024). This performance by Dr. Shana Mashego and Dr. Patrick Merrill at the opening concert of the 2024 Corcoran Music Festival of George Washington Unviersity was the first documented performance.
