Doug Wagner’s arrangement of three well-known spirituals will be easily learned by singers with developing voices. Creative piano parts set the mood for each title and provide ample support for singers. Each spiritual--“Oh, Won’t You Sit Down?,” “Deep River with All Night, All Day,” and “He’s Got the Whole World In His Hands”--may be performed separately or combined as a suite. With a light jazz style for the opening and closing titles and the middle title presented as a moderate tempo ballad, it’s fun to rehearse and a great budget stretcher! Also available in three-part mixed.

Insp ired by the ceasefire that occurred in December of 1914 during World War I, this piece lives in that moment where for a brief moment, the world was at peace. Eyewitness accounts tell us that carols, such as Franz Gruber’s “Stille Nacht” (“Silent Night”) were sung (which is featured in this piece), seasonal greetings in several languages rang out across the trenches, and simple gifts of food and memorabilia were exchanged. In that one brief and beautiful moment, the human spirit triumphed. Fighting ceased, and the world was at peace. An optional reading may be read before the performing that communicates this context to your audience.
