Kirby Shaw puts his contemporary stamp on this traditional spiritual for SSA voices. The haunting and powerful story is sung above a driving accompaniment of piano, electric bass and djembe. Full three-part harmony fills the piece, moving back and forth from longer notes to more rhythmic phrases with an optional descant, too. All creating a dynamic sound that treble choirs will love to learn and perform.
