Simple, elegant and beautiful, this setting of the traditional African-American hymn is a welcome addition to the beginning band repertoire. Lyrical, flowing lines provide a welcome opportunity to teach phrasing. Full band statements combined with both woodwind and brass choir features create a unique teaching opportunity for the very beginning band. Although the original melody and this arrangement use only six notes in their construction, this setting is suitable for performance by bands at multiple levels. Highly recommended!

Alan has skillfully arranged this African American spiritual so that your choir sounds great when the notes on the page come alive. The animated choral refrain is set in contrast to the soloist‚ verses with the choir singing ooh‚ underneath the melody. With a little work, this will become a choir and congregation favorite. You will probably want to add simple percussion or hand claps as the spirit moves you. Uses: Prayer, Mercy, Resurrection, Eternal Life, OT 6 C.

This traditional African-American spiritual speaks of hope and trust in its biblical references to feasting with all believers at a common table. Steve has shaped his arrangement to be expressive and spirited, with interplay among the four-part voices, developing differently in each verse. The fourth verse mimcs the text of flying with the upper voices while the basses hold the melody. Your choir will sound impeccably polished with this fine a cappella writing.
