big, bold piano introduction sets the stage for
this powerful and inspirational song. "Let the
harmonies of freedom ring" is a message for
this time and all times. The gospel feel of this
original song gives the lyrics clarity, and an a
cappella section makes this a worthy closing to
your concert!

Swing Low, Sweet Chariot—arr. David
Lantz III. This African American spiritual arrange-
ment has a gentle jazz feel and is based on

arranged timeless classic.

They Cry Peace—Murphy C. Williams/arr.
George Lynn. The words are simple - "They will
cry peace where there is no peace" - but the
setting of the music is rhythmic and dynamic. The
repetitions make sense as the words move on to
"joy" and "love," and you realize it sounds like a
gospel preacher's sermon in song.

United in Purpose—Rollo Dilworth. This is
a rhythmic, contemporary gospel-style anthem

communities safe, supportive, and just.

Wait Til I Put On My Crown—arr. Stacey V.
Gibbs. The upbeat text in this spiritual arrangement
tosses the devil away and celebrates praying,
singing, and going to heaven! Commissioned for
the 2022 ACDA Southern Region Honor Choir,
this winning spiritual with an occasional divisi is
suitable for church and school.

Wayfaring Stranger (with "I Want Jesus
to Walk with Me")—Kyle Pederson. What
a powerful juxtaposition of two iconic African
American spirituals: Wayfaring Stranger and
I Want Jesus to Walk with Me. "I am a stranger
in a strange land...how long must we cry
out?" This impactful work is simultaneously
a cry of lament, a song of personal invitation,
and a statement of assurance. Echos of past
and current hardship (slavery, immigration,
pandemic, injustice, isolation) are voiced by
choir and soloists throughout this compelling
piece and allow multiple perspectives into the
text. A journey of sorrow and hope—worthy of
the finest choirs.

We Shall Not Be Moved—arr. Adam Podd
& Matt Podd. This well-known spiritual and civil
rights song is a soulful anthem for both sacred and
secular occasions. It is easy to learn and powerful
to sing. The accompaniment sets the tone right
from the top with a grounded gospel feel bringing
strength and soul to your choir's performance.

We Shall Walk Through the Valley—arr.
Undine Smith Moore. The arrangement of this
African American spiritual is both accessible
and gorgeous. A short choral section is used for
the introduction, interludes between verses, and
at the conclusion, adding cohesion to a lovely
setting. Perfect for the first Sunday of Lent or
as a companion anthem whenever Psalm 23
is scheduled.

We're More Alike Than Unalike—Rollo
Dilworth. In her poem Human Family, Maya
Angelou teaches us the importance of recognizing
and respecting differences while celebrating our
common humanity. This gospel setting of these
words uses dissonance, consonance, and unison
lines to portray the text musically, while bringing
excitement and joy in the process.

Were You There?—arr. Brandon Waddles.
Here is an elegant a cappella arrangement of
this well-known traditional spiritual that combines
gentle and evocative harmonies while moving
toward a heartfelt statement at the very end. It will
work well in both worship services and in concert.

Woke Up This Mornin'—arr. Austin Hunt.
A powerful symbol of the American civil rights
movement and made popular by the Freedom
Riders in 1961, this hymn with reimagined lyrics
replaces the name "Jesus" with "freedom" in
the refrain. Audiences will thrill to the sound of
tenor-bass choirs singing this wonderfully rich
spiritual arrangement. With solo opportunities,
it also includes a piano accompaniment laden
with gospel riffs, adding a richly diverse layer to
this setting!
