The familiar African-American spiritual in a fresh rhythmic setting! Opening with just a shaker and unison voices, a tapestry of percussion ostinatos and traditional choral harmony gradually unfolds before returning back to the clean lines of the beginning. Well-planned key changes ensure successful a cappella modulations for less-experienced groups. Three notated percussion parts are included in the publication.

A bluesy rhythmic motive stacks up across voices, creating a compelling introduction and scattered interludes for this hip interpretation of the African-American spiritual. Call-and-response verses give individual sections a chance to shine, and a brief descant plus some optional divisi add that final flourish. A great teaching piece for 2- and 3-part choirs.

This arrangement of the beloved African-American spiritual offers students the opportunity to experience chromaticism within beautiful moving lines and harmonies. A simple hymn-like texture at the beginning gradually leads to an expedition in bi-tonality, giving this arrangement a contemporary but accessible sound.

Right from the unsettling opening notes in the keyboard, it's clear that this arrangement of the traditional spiritual is something special. The yearning for comfort in times of trouble (breaking heart, sorrow) on the journey through life is underlined by delicate, sensitive scoring that is nonetheless easy to learn. A stunning work, a powerful musical message.
