Does anyone recognize this recording of 'Go Down Moses'?
I just skimmed a streaming version. It plays under a montage of slavery-era lithographs.
The credits are not specific, but there is this:
Music adviser
Charles Chilton
The Bertha Brown Singers
Eddie Matthews
Tom Paley
Billy Bell
and
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir
Locations of filming include Boone Hall Plantation, South Carolina and Natchez, Mississippi, one of which may have been the church service that makes up intermittent parts of the episode; the music there is a little more gospel, though, and I couldn't be sure whether or not it was the source of the excerpt you're asking about.
