This Negro Spiritual was made popular by the Golden Gate Quartet in the 1930s. Willie T. Johnson, the lead singer of the group, is the father of Kevin P. Johnson the arranger of this version. The composer, like his father, uses rhythm in exciting new ways to deliver Negro Spirituals to contemporary audiences. The text of this spiritual has been interpreted in many different ways over the years. Here's a popular interpretation of the text. One for the little bitty baby born, born, born in Bethlehem: This refers to the infant Jesus. Two for Paul and Silas: This verse honors Paul and Silas who went on many missionary journeys to spread the teachings of Christ. Three for the Hebrew children: The three Hebrew children could be Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Four for the four that stood at the door: Many people interpret the four to be the four writers of the Gospel books - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, though this does not explain the part about standing at the door. Five for the gospel preachers: The five are Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Peter. Paul is already mentioned above, in line two. Six for the six that never got fixed: Could this mean the sinners who never change their ways? Seven for the seven that went up to heaven: The seven in heaven could be the seven stars in Ursa Major or the sevenfold spirit of God or the seven early Christian churches or the seven stars in the right hand of Christ mentioned in the Revelation. Eight for the eight that stood at the gate: This could refer to the eight people who entered Noah's ark (Noah, his wife, their three sons and their wives). Nine for the nine that dressed so fine: This could refer to the nine orders of Angels in heaven. Ten for the ten commandments: This refers to the ten commandments given to Moses. Performance notes: Swing the 8th notes Djembe drums should be played freely with flexible precision The rap can be optional The ending solo can be sung down an octave and can be changed to match the ability of the soloist. Do not clap louder than you sing If doing choral movement on the piece, pay attention to detail synchronizing movements as much as possible. While the rap is words in rhythm, if adding one is not possible for your performance, consider a spoken word of your own choosing Have fun!.

Fanfare Band, Mixed Choir and Combo - Grade 3

SKU: BT.DHP-1145564-020

Composed by Jacob De Haan. Musica Sacra. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2014. De Haske Publications #DHP 1145564-020. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-1145564-020).

The Gospel Mass-a mass for mixed choir, combo and concert band-is based on the gospel music that has spread throughout the world since its creation in America. After Missa Brevis and Missa Katharina this is the third mass fromthe pen of Jacob de Haan.
The movements of the mass ordinary as we know it have now been composed in various pop styles that have their origin in the gospel music. We hear, then, not only the classic American gospel style (including thecharacteristic clapping and swing rhythms), but also freer gospel styles that have developed over the course of time. The Credo, for example, is a ballad with rock and funk influences. The Agnus Dei is heard as a slow blues-a genreclosely linked to gospel music. The unique feature of this work, of course, is in the combination of all these pop and gospel elements with the Latin liturgy of the Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei, which results in abeautiful, cohesive whole. As far as we know, The Gospel Mass is the only true gospel mass.

The Gospel Mass – een mis voor gemengd koor, combo en blaasorkest – is gebaseerd op de gospelmuziek zoals die zich sinds haar ontstaan in Amerika overal in de wereld heeft verspreid en ontwikkeld. Het werk is na Missa Brevisen Missa Katharina de derde mis van componist Jacob de Haan.
De ordinariumdelenzoals we die kennen van een mis, zijn hier gecomponeerd in diverse popstijlen die hun oorsprong vinden in de gospelmuziek. Zo horen we niet alleen deklassiekeAmerikaanse gospelstijl (inclusief hand-clapping en swing), maar ook de vrijere gospelstijlen die zich in de loop der tijd hebben ontwikkeld. Het Credo is bijvoorbeeld gecomponeerd als een ballad, terwijl in andere delen rock- en funkinvloeden zijnverwerkt. Het Agnus Dei klinkt in een slow blues, een genre dat nauw verbonden is met de gospelmuziek. De unieke factor is de combinatie van al deze pop- en gospelelementen met de Latijnse misteksten van het Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Benedictusen Agnus Dei – daarmee ontstaat een fraai, samenhangend geheel. Voor zover bekend is The Gospel Mass de enige echte gospelmis.

The Gospel Mass eine Messe für gemischten Chor, Combo und Blasorchester basiert auf der Gospelmusik, wie sie sich seit ihrer Entstehung in Amerika überall auf der Welt verbreitet hat. Das Werk ist nach Missa Brevis und MissaKatharina die dritte Messe aus der Feder von Jacob de Haan.
Die Ordinariumsteile, wie man sie aus einer Messe kennt, sind hier in diversen Popstilen komponiert, die ihren Ursprung in der Gospelmusik haben. So hören wir nicht nur den klassischen amerikanischen Gospelstil (inklusive Händeklatschen und Swing),sondern auch freiere Gospelstile, die sich im Laufe der Zeit entwickelt haben. Das Credo ist beispielsweise eine Ballade, in der Rock- und Funk-Einflüsse verarbeitet wurden. Das Agnus Dei erklingt als langsamer Blues ein Genre, daseng mit der Gospelmusik verknüpft ist. Der einzigartige Faktor dieses Werkes besteht natürlich in der Kombination all dieser Pop- und Gospelelemente mit den lateinischen Messetexten der Ordinariumsteile Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus, Benedictusund Agnus Dei, die ein schönes, zusammenhängendes Ganzes ergibt. Soweit bekannt, ist The Gospel Mass die einzige echte Gospelmesse.

The Gospel Mass messe pour chœur mixte, combo et orchestre d’harmonie, fut composée partir du style gospel, qui, depuis ses origines en Amérique, s’est peu peu étendu dans le monde entier. Après Missa Brevis et MissaKatharina, voici la troisième messe signée par le compositeur Jacob de Haan.
Les différents mouvements de la composition de Jacob de Haan s’articulent selon le déroulement d’une célébration liturgique ordinaire. La Gospel Mass comporte divers styles pop qui trouvent leur origine dans la musique gospel. Nous entendonsalors, non seulement le style classique américain des gospels songs (y compris les applaudissements caractéristiques et rythmes swinguant), mais aussi une plus grande liberté d’usage des styles de gospel qui se sont développés au fil du temps. LeCredo, par exemple, est une ballade aux influences rock et funk. LAgnus Dei résonne comme un slow blues - un genre lent étroitement lié la musique gospel. La particularité de cette œuvre réside dans une belle et cohérente combinaisonde tous ces éléments pop et gospel avec le Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus, Benedictus et Agnus Dei de la liturgie latine. Pour autant que nous sachions, The Gospel Mass est la seule véritable messe gospel.
