Russell
Robinson has written a
fresh and accessible
arrangement in an a
cappella SATB voicing of
Charles Tindley’s
original 1905 hymn, Stand
by Me. It begins with
unison voices and moves
on to lush harmonies that
choral groups and
directors have come to
expect from Russ. The
second verse features a
solo with beautiful
harmonies for the
supportive other voices.
In addition to S/A
sections and T/B
features. There are
plenty of opportunities
for dynamic and rubato
interpretation throughout
the work. And, certainly,
Tindley’s text is as
timely for us today as it
was in the early
1900’s, e.g., When the
storms of life are
raging, stand by me. The
beauty of this
arrangement will be loved
by you and your
choirs.
