Caleb has arranged this Traditional Spiritual with a light, dancing Calypso rhythm which soon segues to a lyrical, expressive section which includes LV and handchimes. Techniques include mallets, thumb damp, ring touch, shake and bass bell ringers will love that he has included Ring in the bass!. The addition of optional percussion which includes claves, shaker, and hand drum will make this a delightful addition to your holiday concert!
