Swing Low, Sweet
Chariot is
arguably the best known
Negro spiritual in the
world; famous as a
worship song, a sports
anthem, and a popular
melody. It was arranged
for unaccompanied Male
Voice Choir (TTBB) and
Baritone solo, with Piano
reduction for rehearsal
purposes, in 1932.
Sir Granville
Bantock (1868-1946)
was a British composer,
conductor and educator.
He channelled his
energetic and creative
personality into many
musical projects,
championing the works of
Jean Sibelius, founding
the City of Birmingham
Symphony Orchestra, and
composing many splendid
classical pieces. Viewed
by his contemporaries as
out-of-date, his music is
now beingappreciated as
one of the last great
contributions from the
English Romantic
movement.
