SPIRITUALS, GOSPEL & SOUTHERN GOSPEL
There Is More Love Somewhere—arr. Adam
Podd & Matt Podd. More love, more hope, and
more joy! This traditional spiritual is a plea for
peace and unity, and this arrangement makes
it accessible to any choir. Its simple harmonies
unfold beautifully over three or four repetitions
with a well-crafted accompaniment that doesn't
get in the way. The strophic form makes it
very easy to learn. The accompaniment MP3
includes a shorter version and a longer version
with the cuts indicated in the score for added
flexibility. Also available as a virtual choir kit.
In an effort to continue the promotion and
proliferation of these, and other important forms
of musical expression rooted in Black culture,
we (Adam and Matt Podd) donate an industry-
standard "royalty" rate from the profits of any
public domain music we have arranged which
is attributed to non-white sources. This royalty
will go to various non-profit organizations
which support black musical arts and artists
- especially in those traditions from which we
have been most heavily influenced.

True Light—Keith Hampton. Opening phrases
of the traditional spiritual This Little Light of Mine
launch this exciting work into Keith Hampton's
original words and music, which feature a
sixteen-measure soprano solo sung to lines
from tenth-century poet Grigor Narekatzi's
Book of Mournful Chants: "Don't let the light
that You've given me die, And don't desert my
mind. But let the one who serves You Praise
You again and again." The repeated responses
"He lives in us as True Light" and "God gave
the world True Light" give solid impact to every
phrase. School and church choirs will revel in
the spiritual depth and driving rhythmic feel of
this extraordinarily soulful choral!
