SPIRITUALS & GOSPEL
L How Sweet the Sound—Kyle Pederson. This
t
work has the ethos of a spiritual, with the text and
a few riffs inspired by Amazing Grace. The choir,
considering the power of grace in song, affirms
that no trouble, no shame, no valley is too deep
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.
