SPIRITUALS
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.

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'?
