t I'm Just a Poor Wayfarin' Strangerarr.
Patti Drennan. Set in an easy swing groove, this
arrangement of the well-known spiritual demands
the audience's attention from the very first note.
The top three voices carry the tune while the bass
voices mimic a walking bassline, holding everything
together in this guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

n If I Got My Ticketarr. Roy Belfield. Your choral
ensemble will want to "pull out all the stops" on
this stirring arrangement of a traditional spiritual for
accompanied mixed voices. Syncopated rhythms
propel the work forward, and the crescendo to the
final conclusion is absolutely overpowering! Suitable
for school or church settings.

H John the Revelator (Traditional Gospel Blues)
arr. Paul Caldwell & Sean Ivory. If you have the
choir and accompanist to handle this, you must
give it a serious look because it is just phenomenal!
In its original form, the song stems from the Delta
Blues tradition, and was recorded by Blind Willie
Johnson and Son House during the 1920s and
1930s. "O tell me who is that writin'? John the
Revelator...O tell me what is he writin'? 'bout the
Revelation...writin' in the book of seven seals..."
With vocal glissandi, claps, stomps and stunning
dynamics, this is intense, and well worth the work
you put into it!

n Jordan's AngelsRollo Dilworth. Incorporating the
spiritual All Night, All Day, this original gospel work by
Rollo Dilworth makes a wonderful selection for young

easily learned and the stylized piano accompaniment
gives it an authentic flair. Appealing!

Greg Gilpin. If you're looking for something a little

Gilpin. Interlocking vocals sing over a pulsating

n Let EverythingAndre Thomas. Psalm 150 is
a glorious passage of scripture to begin with! And
this exhilarating gospel original is a musical tour-
de-force of gospel rhythms, choral expressions of
praise, and a piano accompaniment that is fun
for even the most serious of classical pianists.
Energetic and exuberant, with an effective a
cappella section, this could be the piece in your
concert, worship service or festival this year.

Ames. It is impossible not to be inspired by this
soul-stirring gospel original. The accompaniment is
rock solid, and the choral parts are incredibly gutsy,
with dramatic dynamic swells and accents that will
shake the rafters! "Magnify the Lord with me and
exalt His name together...Let everything that hath
breath praise the Lord!"

Let It Shine!arr. Nancy Price & Don Besig. If you
buy only one piece all year long for your young two-
part choir, you should seriously consider making
this that one piece! Marvelously set for young
voices by Don Besig and Nancy Price, this uses the
exceptionally familiar spiritual/folksong This Little
Light Of Mine and adds two countermelodies, a
"walking bass" line and finger snaps to create what
is undoubtedly the most appealing work of its type
in many, many years!

H
Let Me FlyRobert DeCormier. "O let me fly to
Mount Zion, Lord!" This bright, uplifting spiritual has
become a standard in the choral repertoire for divisi
a cappella mixed choirs, and is a perennial favorite
for festival performances. Now scored for SSAA, it
will surely be popular with women's choirs as well.

spiritual Let Me Fly, the chariot is presented as a
symbol of freedom. This creative setting for two-
part treble choirs offers lots of opportunities for
musical growth and expression with its steady
marching accompaniment, interesting harmonies,
strophic variation and well-crafted vocals.

A short medley of two spirituals that packs a lot of
punch, yet is still appropriate for various services
or programs. Joel Raney masterfully segues
between When the Saints Go Marching In and In
That Great Gettin' Up Morning. Fun, exciting, and
highly recommended!

Lift Up Your Voice!Victor C. Johnson. Here's
a kickin' gospel original with energy to spare!
Spirited syncopations and intricate chord changes
authenticate the style, and a short piano solo paves
the way for a funky vocal stack that drives to the
end and brings it all home! With or without the
recorded track (with organ), this is a barnburner!
Highly recommended!
