Here's a
beloved American
spiritual, sensitively
prepared for school and
church singers by Victor
C. Johnson. The familiar
strophic melody is fully
arranged with
progressively richer
sonorities throughout.
Expressive tempo markings
stretch the final moment
of every phrase and
suggest more motion for
the hear the trumpet
sound verse. A lovely
piano accompaniment does
not double, but rather
decorates the satisfying
choral parts. A gentle
gem that grows to an
impressive height before
a quiet conclusion.
