Often referred to as the “Black National Anthem” this hymn melody by John Rosamond Johnson (brother of the text’s author, NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson) is given an energetic and creative treatment by M. Roger Holland II. The piano writing is accessible, lying very naturally under the hands. Driving rhythmic changes add interest, leading the piece to a dramatic and grand conclusion.

This contemporary spiritual boasts a rich history as a song of liberation and has been dubbed the Black American National Anthem. Greg's tour-de-force arrangement opens with a powerful unison before developing into thick gospel harmonies. Perform with the SoundTrax CD or the SoundPax parts for guitar, bass, and drumset. Both words and music will resonate long after the final glorious chord!
