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.
