Ain'-a That Good News—arr. William Dawson.
Long considered "the" original version of this
timeless spiritual. The true authenticity of the
African-American musical heritage is captured
in this Dawson rendition.

Ain't Got Time to Die—Hall Johnson. A fun,
syncopated spiritual for a cappella choir.
There's also a part for a soprano solo. Requires
a full group, as all parts divide at times. A
rousing handclapper!

All God's People Come Together—Pepper
Choplin. Choirs of all sizes will enjoy this
anthem featuring an optional solo and a
cappella section. It sparkles with excitement
from its opening measures to the final pages
when the choir encourages the congregation
to "Rejoice!" in layers of sonic beauty.

All My Trials—arr. Norman Luboff. Beautiful
harmonies, lush-sounding chords and lots of
expression combine for this arrangement of
the familiar Bahamian spiritual. It's a cappella
with some divisi as well.

Bright Morning Stars—arr. Alice Parker. Alice
Parker has created a setting of this beautiful
American song that is simple, authentic, and
warm. A good chance to feature a soloist, with
accompanimental choral parts beneath.

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.

Martin. Combining two beloved spirituals that
center on communion, this anthem embraces
both the meditative and joyous side of the
communion feast.

Cornerstone—Shawn Kirchner. The composer

Down by the Riverside (with Standing in
the Need of Prayer)—arr. Mary McDonald.
Combining two familiar spirituals, this
dazzling arrangement utilizes an abundance
of rhythmic energy to express the need to
lay down our burdens and stand before the
Lord in prayer. Written in a down-home gospel
style, this piece is well crafted and just plain

Down in the River to Pray—arr. David L.
Mennicke. With its emphasis on the simple
choral sounds that undergird the melody, this
stoic arrangement of the southern gospel
hymn is a strong addition to the repertoire of
a cappella works for mixed choir. Divisi men's
chords and open fifths lay a strong foundation
for the melody to shine. Accessible and rich
sounding, this is a superb selection that can be
used in worship settings, concert appearances
and festival activities.
10068447 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
Down in the River to Pray—arr. Eric Nelson.
This popular traditional folk song is combined
with the spiritual Deep River to create a deeply
moving presentation. The piece begins simply
with a solo alto line, then the texture builds
slowly as other parts join in. A change to a
more fluid piano part depicts moving water
supporting a verse of the spiritual before
returning to the opening material.
11538013 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.85
Down in the River to Pray—arr. Jace Wittig.
In the SSAA voicing, this piece went viral
when the Colorado All-State Treble Choir
sang from the balconies in a hotel lobby! This
a cappella arrangement of the folk hymn made
popular in the movie "O Brother, Where Art
Thou?" utilizes body percussion, compelling
harmonies, and an authentic vocal style to
create an unforgettable choral piece. Great to
open or close a concert!

Down to the River to Pray—arr. Sheldon
Curry. From the film O Brother, Where Art
Thou, this Appalachian-flavored spiritual is
a genuine, heartfelt plea for prayer. With a
moving low-voice solo and optional parts
for strings, this powerful work creates a
deeply emotional presentation for choir and
congregation. Unique and memorable!

Down to the River to Pray—Ken Medema/
arr. Mary McDonald. This dynamic medley
captures the spirit and message of two popular
songs that deal with the significance of prayer

whole. The spiritual, Down to the River to Pray,

flavor of this song with its unhurried rhythmic
style and supportive accompaniment.

Ezekiel Saw de Wheel—arr. William L.
Dawson. The classic Dawson version of the
American spiritual is a tour de force for more
experienced choirs. Dawson's interpretation
of the "wheel within a wheel" passage is a
masterful stroke of choral orchestration.
566109 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.65
Fill Your Jar at the Well—Diane Hannibal/
arr. Joel Raney. Pure jubilation surrounds this
anthem dedicated to an important moment in
Jesus' ministry. After a soulful opening solo,
the choir comes in up-tempo unison, then
sings SATB to the end. Filled with toe-tapping
rhythms, this piece includes options for gospel
piano, soloist, Hammond organ, and drum set.
11569232 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.35
Fill-a Me Up—Pepper Choplin. Here's a very
appealing, spirited a cappella choral! It
sounds more difficult than it is, which allows
a variety of choirs the opportunity to be
challenged by unaccompanied singing. A
soloist or small ensemble can be featured
along with an incredibly fun optional
percussion accompaniment.

Fix Me, Jesus—arr. Stacey V. Gibbs. Rich,
warm harmonies envelop this traditional
spiritual in an accessible texture that highlights
the text in a plea for a promising future.
Standard homophonic part writing and easily
read rhythms make this approachable by choirs
for singing in either concerts or services.

Fly Away Medley—arr. Mark Hayes. A real
gospel tapestry! The arranging genius of
Mark Hayes shines in this stellar medley of
gospel favorites, including Albert Brumley's
I'll Fly Away, recently featured in the movie "O
Brother, Where Art Thou?," We'll Understand
It Better By and By; When the Roll Is Called
Up Yonder; On Jordan's Stormy Banks and
When the Saints Go Marching In. Arranged
in a "down-home" country style with fresh,
playful choral harmonies, this will be as much
fun to sing as it is to listen to. The SATB and
SAB editions open with a stylized vocal trio
feature that really gets things going. The terrific
orchestration hits the mark and will guarantee
a spectacular performance!
