I gotta like the sacred music that Duke Ellington wrote for the sacred concerts. This sacred music makes me think of the Biblical stories from the books of the Bible.
Roger b, There are four more selections from this concert, all of which followed this clip. They are "TGTT", "Don't Get on Your Knees to Pray", "Father Forgive" and "Praise God and Dance". Do you have these additional titles? If so, please post them on YT or contact me at tomsjazz@msn.com. Thanks!

In 1963, I had the pleasure of meeting the great Duke at the Centennial Celebration of the Emancipation Proclamation at Chicago's Arie Crown Amphitheatre. I was raised on his music and played some of it during my high school band experience. I liked his expression: "I love you madly."
HEARD THE DUKE AND HIS BAND IN WELLINGTON NEW ZEALAND AROUND 1970. WHAT A PRIVILEGE TO HEAR THEM. COOTIE, JOHNNY AND CAT WERE ALL THERE
Thank you for posting.
The king of all Sir Duke!

I wish this music would be used for sacred concerts in Catholic schools and churches.
