A clever arrangement of the traditional spiritual that includes a surprise nod to Handel's Hallelujah Chorus plus an optional part for autoharp! The pentatonic chorus is great for teaching or reinforcing solfège, while the harmonies are appropriately independent for developing singers. A few new words tell us more about the heroic boy, David. A terrific teaching piece that kids will enjoy!

Terrific concert, contest or festival piece filled with kinetic musical energy that's easy to teach and learn with musical respect for the traditional spiritual. The independent part-singing is confidence building, too.

Stacey Gibbs' Li'l David for women's chorus is a tremendous creation by the well-loved arranger. This will be a great choice for more advanced women's choirs, but the way the two SSA choirs play off of one another is natural and achievable. Jo-Michael Scheibe Choral Series.
