The 99—Christina Degazio,
Marty Funderburk/arr. Marty Hamby.
This southern gospel radio hit made popular
by the LeFevre Quartet is a powerful solo-led
ballad that reminds us of Jesus leaving the
99 to save the one. "He'll do anything to save
that one who's gone astray." This stirring song
is now arranged and orchestrated for soloist,
church choir, and orchestra.

Come By Here—arr. Kyle Pederson.
This sensitive setting of the spiritual
KUM BAH
YAH
is not to be missed. In one spot the piano
plays a guided improvisation over the choir
singing neutral syllables. In another there is the
option to sing unaccompanied. An emotional
high point occurs when the sections each sing
out their situations, "longing, falling, hiding,"
then answer together, "You are here." This work
hits every high mark in terms of vocal writing, a
skillful accompaniment, and a beautiful effect.
