This fresh a cappella arrangement of this traditional spiritual will have your choir AND your congregation or audience tapping their toes and clapping their hands. It starts with a mournful rubato introduction, and then jumps into a swinging gospel beat. In true traditional gospel style, the song is repetitive, encouraging your congregation to sing along, but uses harmony, dynamics and wonderful layered break-down section to build the excitement right up to the final triumphant chorus. The harmonies are easy to learn, making this the perfect selection for any choir. Suitable for Palm Sunday, Black History Month, or general worship services.

This book constitutes a no-nonsense approach to mastery of the modern drumset. It is written in standard drumset notation for the intermediate to advanced player who wants to emulate today's top drummers. Drumset for the 21st Century includes seven sections. The first six sections detail modem rhythms and patterns: rudimental studies and applications, linear and layered patterns, ostinatos, Latin-style patterns, double bass, and odd time signatures. Each is followed by a drum solo incorporating the patterns studied in the section. Section 7 consists of play along charts to be used with the recording included with the book to give you the opportunity to play many of the new patterns in a simulated studio situation. Includes access to online audio.
