Composed by Robert W. Smith. Young Concert Band. Sound Foundations Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR374). Extra full score. Composed 2011. Duration 2 minutes, 38 seconds. C.L. Barnhouse #023-4005-01. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.023-4005-01). 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!
