This gospel-style kicker features the bass section on the familiar spiritual melody. It's an arrangement crafted with tried-and-true techniques of the genre like rhythmic choral interjections, close triads, and ascending chord inversions. An exuberant add-on section shifts momentarily to bluesy minor, and a huge ritard at the end invites singers to bring the power. Raise the roof by performing with the lively SoundTrax or invite an improvising bass and drummer to play along. Premiered at the 2022 Missouri MEA conference under the direction of arranger Robert T. Gibson.

The Zulu title of this popular South African folk hymn translates to We Are Marching. In this clever adaptation, the melody is first presented in all parts, then appears as a round backed by a rock-style bass line. Next comes a key modulation that keeps the excitement rolling into the gospel-style finale. Duration 2:25.

Whether resources are abundant or limited, whether you prefer a traditional or a contemporary sound, all parishes will feel comfortable with this mass!Jubilation Mass can easily be sung in simple form with only melody and accompaniment of choice (piano, organ, guitar, or a combination), with select pieces requiring a cantor and singing presider.
