This
arrangement is a medley
of three spirituals: Come
down, angels, Listen to
the angels, and My way's
cloudy, all from The
Story of the Fisk Jubilee
Singers, one of the
earliest printed
collections of slave
spirituals. In all three,
angels are the heavenly
messengers who inspire
and lead the singers out
of bondage into the
promised land. In this
arrangement, the angels
are not dimpled cherubs,
but rather towering
figures who energize the
singers in their
difficult and dangerous
journey. Swing rhythm
sections alternate with
softer sections in
straight rhythm, in this
fine concert closer with
barn-burning piano
accompaniment. The
spirituals' Exodus
imagery makes this medley
suitable for Passover
programming, as well as
for concerts which honor
slave spirituals. SSAA
