One of six
Traditional Spirituals
Eli originally arranged
for Solo Voice and Piano.
The origin of the
spiritual is generally
accredited to the
Christian Slaves who sang
about the message of
Jesus Christ and the Good
News as well as a way to
share their difficult
conditions of slavery
with each other. To honor
the traditions of the
Spiritual, the song
marries the text and
melody of the Traditional
Spiritual with the colors
and harmonies found in a
more contemporary era. In
this song, the
accompaniment takes on an
important role as a
soloist with it's own
unique melody drawn from
the original. The
accompaniment adds a
tonal subtext to the
words and emotions shared
by the choir to achieve a
rich, emotional offering
to this traditional
spiritual.

Git On Board,
Little Children marries
the text and melody of
the original spiritual
with more contemporary
colors and harmonies. In
this playfel arrangement,
vocal sound effects and
rhythmic patterns from
both the choir and
accompaniment portray a
rickety old gospel train.
Tempo changes within the
song suggest the train
starting and stopping to
collect its welcomed
passengers. Traditional

Ain't That Good
News, marrying the text
and melody of the
original spiritual with
contemporary colors and
harmonies, uses tempos
and rhythmic patterns
that suggest the joy and
utter excitement of a
home that is to come. A
sense of improvisation is
created through the use
of counter melodies, and
the accompaniment
portrays bright rays of
hope and the anticipation
of the delight of a
coming life after death.
Traditional Spiritual.

Joshu
a Fit the Battle of
Jerico is one of six
Traditional Spirituals
Eli originally arranged
for Solo Voice and Piano.
The origin of the
spiritual is generally
accredited to the
Christian Slaves who sang
about the message of
Jesus Christ and the Good
News as well as a way to
share their difficult
conditions of slavery
with each other. To honor
the traditions of the
Spiritual, the song
marries the text and
melody of the Traditional
Spiritual with the colors
and harmonies found in a
more contemporary era.
You will notice that many
of the time signatures
within this song have
been changed to create
irregular patterns within
the melody. This is to
create an unstable sense
of the battle, which is
carried on into an
optional written
improvisational section
that grows wildly to an
abrupt end, creating a
picture of a wild battle.
Traditional
Spititual.
