- This Little Light of Mine
"This Little Light of Mine" actually is not part of the Fannie Lou score, which consists of all orginal music. However, it was recorded early-on because it was one of Fannie Lou Hamer's favorite songs and had been considered for inclusion in the musical before the decision to go with all original music was made. You can download Felicia's viola solo version of "This Little Light of Mine" here, for free, by clicking the downward-pointing arrow.
