SPIRITUALS & GOSPEL SELECTIONS
4t I Been in the Storm—arr. Brian Tate. Tate
has created a beautiful a cappella setting of this
traditional spiritual that expresses all the longing
and yearning for a better day, typical of the
style. The minor setting utilizes strong harmonic
progressions, and the solid arrangement presents a
great opportunity to teach phrasing, musicality and
style with long legato lines, controlled dynamics and
a focus on creating drama through text.

I Can See the River Jordan—Jay Althouse.
This original selection combines folk and gospel
elements in a laid-back style in the pattern of
a traditional spiritual. A symbolic text leads to
crossing the metaphoric River Jordan as the music
recalls songs from early America. The piece opens
with brief solos, builds to a hand clapping bridge,
and concludes only after full choral harmonies fade
and voices unite on a single pitch.

concert work presents an opportunity to teach

strength and vitality so typical of the songs from
the Sacred Harp. Featured in the Oscar-nominated
film "Cold Mountain," this sturdy chorus still has
a resolve to stir the soul, and Pepper Choplin's
accessible a cappella arrangement is destined to

is a homespun, honest selection from America's
spiritual heritage.

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!
