Accompanying voices are imitative, with an ascending melody to represent the singer's journey to heaven (home over Jordan). Publication includes brief background information to provide introductory context about R. Nathaniel Dett, a Black nationalistic composer, educator, conductor, and writer who transformed impressions of Black music during the early twentieth century.

Originally published in 1978, this expressive and dynamic anthem from Undine Smith Moore is ideal for Lent or anytime a choral setting of the Kyrie is needed, and it has now been re-released in the St. Olaf Choral Series. Editor Anton Armstrong notes that Undine Smith Moore was often referred to as the “Dean of Black Women Composers, and while many of her compositions are concert arrangements of African American spirituals, this piece is an original work written in the harmonic and melodic style of a spiritual. Suggestions by the editors provide tips for smaller choirs who wish to sing this anthem.

This arrangement of a moving spiritual includes enhanced original text. The piece utilizes each individual voice part for canonic material in the chorus to create a building foundation towards the cornerstone of the message, supporting the alto soloist as they deliver the melody in a way that hearkens back to how it would have been sung as a field holler during the years of African American slavery. The arrangement is suitable for a mixed collegiate choir, advanced high school choir or large community choir. “Hold On Just a Little While Longer” is a great piece for concerts to feature a strong alto soloist, or themed around hope, perseverance or African American music. This piece conveys a message of hope and endurance for all in the face of life's challenges.
