arrangement of the traditional Bahamian spiritual
is a standard in the choral performance repertoire.

Chris Jasper/arr. Stacey V. Gibbs. "Everybody
take a stand, join the caravan of love." This

of unity and action, this rousing arrangement of
the R&B hit song is both emotionally resonant and
musically engaging.

Come and Go (To That Land)—arr. Brandon

arrangement partners two traditional spirituals,

an opportunity to feature soloists, and a stacking
gospel bridge that vamps right until the close, it's
a strong and memorable closer for either concerts
or services.

Hold On Just a Little While Longer—arr.
Bryon K. Black II. Original text enhances this
arrangement of the traditional spiritual about
holding on to hope in times of tribulation. Each
individual voice part is given canonic material,
building a foundation toward the cornerstone of
the message and supporting the alto soloist as
they deliver the melody in a way reminiscent of
how it would have been sung as a field holler.
Powerful and effective!

singers and the audience completely engaged
from beginning to end, this is what a jazzy a
cappella gospel arrangement should sound like!

I'm Building Me a Home—arr. Anthony Trecek-
King. This lesser-known spiritual has a theme of
resilience and home presented chorally in a call
and response format. With considerable flexibility
for improvisation, inflections and note bending by
the chorus, or even the addition of an improvised
soloist throughout, this authentic setting presents
a wonderful a cappella show piece for more
mature choirs.

to the piano accompaniment for a truly dynamic
performance that will excite your singers and
audiences alike.

Let Time Be Your Friend (Live Every Moment)—
Diane White-Clayton. With a heartwarming text
and flavors of gospel writing, this accessible
piece can be performed as written or with liberties
indicative of the gospel style - increased ad lib in
the solo, additional repeats in the last section, and
so on. A great reminder for our hurried, stressful
lives, this song tells the message: "Live every
moment. Don't let an hour pass you by. Live... for
time is your friend."
