for the healing gift and power of soul-freeing grace.
The music has a driving quality, with the choir
occasionally backing up the soloist with humming,
quick commentary, or a sustained neutral syllable.

short solo section with characteristic background
figures, this is exceptionally easy to put together.
It's guaranteed to become a favorite of your choir
and a highlight of any performance!

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..."

dynamics, this is intense, and well worth the work
you put into it!
