SACRED CONCERT & SPIRITUALS
Sign Me Up (with "Roll, Jordan, Roll")—
Brandon A. Boyd. Here is a gospel piece for
concert with a fierce piano accompaniment
that will bring excitement and variety to
your next performance. Quoting the familiar
spiritual Roll, Jordan, Roll and with repeated
percussive effects in the lyrics, this piece
bridges styles and context to create a variety
of educational opportunities along with a high
performance value.

Sing Alleluia, Clap Your Hands—Sally K.
Albrecht. The way this piece combines hand
claps with layered vocal lines is truly exciting!
Each voice part introduces its own melodic
line and its own hand claps, until all the parts
are singing and clapping in counterpoint. The
contrasting texture of the homophonic center
section then sets the stage for a reprise of
sing-clapping all the way to a brilliant finish!
A remarkably effective concert feature, both
visually and musically!

Sing Me to Heaven—Daniel Gawthrop. This
sensitive work is so beautifully ethereal it will
take your breath away. "If you would comfort
me, sing me a lullaby. If you would win my
heart, sing me a love song." Expansive while
staying within the framework of four-part
harmony, it is a conductor's choice for larger
choral festivals and a superb feature for
chamber vocal ensembles.

Soon Ah Will Be Done—Judy A. Rose.
"Soon ah will be done wid de troubles of the
de world..." Inspired by the traditional spiritual,
the original music is upbeat, rhythmic, vibrant,
and expressive, with modern vocal writing
and energy. An appropriate selection for high
school, college, and community choirs.

exceptional arrangement.

Soon We Will Be Done—arr. Kyle Pederson.
Building on the original text, this adaptation
of the classic spiritual invites the listener to
envision and commit to a better, more just
world - a world of inclusion, radical kindness,
compassion, love, and grace - a world
where we have the courage to champion
the inherent dignity and value of all people,
a world where we will be done with all the
ways we deny a person's worth. Spoken
word is incorporated throughout, heightening
the intensity of the performance, and giving
a sense of immediacy to the challenge for
the choir and audience to work together for
justice, equity, and wholeness.

Splendor (from "Illuminare")—Elaine
Hagenberg. The opening movement from the
larger work "Illuminare" set on Saint Ambrose's
Latin text radiates majestic energy that heralds
the arrival of Light and a joyful "Gloriae" section.
A brief contrasting section of legato singing
brings a peaceful release before returning to
the vibrant momentum present in the opening.
A wonderful work that stands on its own as a
strong statement for mixed choirs.

a cappella arrangement of this traditional
spiritual throughout the years. Preserved and
now available in a newly engraved version, it
can continue to be enjoyed in this setting for
years to come.

Steal Away—arr. Stacey V. Gibbs. This
arrangement by one of America's leading
arrangers of spirituals captures the pain of
this world while celebrating the hope of the
life yet to come. Though slow in tempo, it has
a strength, energy and drive about it. A short
tenor solo which encourages some ad lib and
the use of the full range of all of the voices
makes this arrangement truly stand out. Worthy
of the best tenor/bass choirs but accessible by
all tenor/bass choirs, this is a must-have.
10775511 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.35
Steal Away—arr. Patrick Dupre Quigley. This
beautiful arrangement marries the traditional
African American spiritual melody of Steal
Away with a quasi-improvisational ostinato
accompaniment over a wonderfully written
solo/group part. Suitable for any performance,
this will be a wonderful addition to your
choral library and a great piece to feature an
outstanding soloist or small group.

Still I Rise—Rosephanye Powell. "Though I
have been wounded; aching heart, full of pain,
still I rise, yes, still I rise..." With its spiritual-like
style, this original choral arrangement with solo
speaks poignantly of the struggles of African-
American women. Commissioned by the
ensemble Vox Femina, it is still attracting a lot
of attention.

Tindley/arr. Barbara W. Baker. This is a lot
of fun! Even choirs with limited experience
singing gospel music will be able to perform the
syncopated and heavily accented vocal parts
with ease. The final repeated chorus features
stunning dynamic contrasts, hand claps and a
dramatic ritard before the final ending. A very
