This creative adaptation of a favorite Spiritual is lively, rhythmic, and will be a fresh, new piece for your Christmas and holiday programs. It begins with malleted bass line and nicely placed accented chords in the treble all of which set the style for this title. Accented notes and dynamics provide interest throughout. Particularly nice sections such as the descending rhythmic line mm. 21 & 22 and similar add character and style. A key change from F-major to G-major moves to a lovely, more introspective Adagio section before it returns to the original tempo and style. This is a definite “must-have” for your group’s repertoire!
