Spirituals & Gospel Selections
n Music Down in My SoulMoses Hogan.
Premiered at the World Choral Symposium in
Minneapolis, this gospel praise song was inspired
by the spiritual Over My Head. The dynamic
piano accompaniment adds to the excitement,
making this a fantastic choral feature or concert
closer. Exuberant!

My God Is a Rockarr. Ruth Morris Gray. In
this soulful setting of the traditional spiritual, the
word "weary" is sung as a counter-motive to give
emphasis to "My God is a rock in a weary land,"
and the effect is dramatic! As the accented piano
accompaniment provides an intense, minor-key
drive, the work features brief optional solos and a
powerful choral add-on section. This really brings
the spiritual to life! Highly recommended!

4 Nobody Turn Me AroundNeil Ginsberg.
Here's a setting of a traditional spiritual that is
refreshingly different, with very effective use of
rests and a striking piano accompaniment. A
slow swing tempo sets the mood while alternately
soft and intense singing tells of determination
and perseverance in "walkin' to the freedom
land." Careful articulation and attention to
dynamics will make this a very cool change-of-
pace program feature!

A combination of two traditional spirituals: the first,
Is a Light Shining From Heaven, is in a minor key,
and the second, Hold Out Your Light, is in a major
key. While the first spiritual speaks of the external
light as a symbol of hope coming from the heavens,
it is the second that helps us to look toward the light
within as a source for strength and perseverance.

its publication in 1984, this energetic work has

percussion instruments. Exuberant and joyful at
