Elijah Rock
arr. Rollo Dilworth.
Building on the heritage of the great arrangements of
Jester Hairston and Moses Hogan, Rollo Dilworth has
created his own unique approach to the traditional
spiritual. Through layering of motivic material and
percussive effects in the lyrics, elements of jazz,
blues, and gospel music combine to great success
in this accompanied version of Elijah's dramatic
ascension into heaven. Now available in SATB.

Possessing crisp a cappella harmonies and cool

festival settings. An original bridge augments the
popular traditional spiritual melody, and the echoing

texture. A fresh arrangement of a choral classic!

Exsultate
Mark Burrows.
Singers in developing choirs will love the excitement
of this vibrant, rhythmically driven concert or contest
title. The more lyrical middle section nicely contrasts
the excitement of the syncopated opening and closing
sections. The Latin text presents teaching moments
for creating tall vowels and crisp consonants.

Exsultate! Jubilate!
Kyle Pederson.
This unique setting pairs the iconic Latin text with
a new, original English text which responds to the
question: Why do we rejoice and shout our praises
to God? The music captures the energy, rhythm, and
exuberance inherent in the phrases "exsultate Deo"
and "jubilate Deo," but also reflects the quiet joys
found in gratitude for the daily gifts of breath and
light. The piano accompaniment is rhythmic and lively.

Festival Sanctus
Victor C. Johnson.
Great as a festival opener, this triumphant setting
of a traditional Latin text includes a pronunciation
and translation guide and is great for teaching pure
vowel sounds. Mixed meter sets an exciting mood in
the introduction, but the choral parts remain in 4/4,
with reasonable ranges for young singers. The lively
syncopated opening and closing sections are nicely
contrasted by a slower, lyrical middle section.

Follow the Drinking Gourd
arr. David Hill.
Arranged for the developing tenor-bass choir, this
spiritual provides opportunities to explore colors in the
vocal sound while singing in a minor key. The mournful
quality, sometimes hushed, sometimes hopeful, is
enhanced by an independent piano accompaniment
that supports without duplicating the voices.

Follow the Drinking Gourd

Mostly known for its association with the Underground
Railroad, this traditional African-American spiritual is
presented in an upbeat gospel setting. The stylized
piano accompaniment really drives the arrangement,
and the exciting choral rhythms in the verse and
chorus fall right in the pocket. A dramatic optional
descant helps build it up to a glorious ending.
