times. A rousing handclapper!

Bless That Wonderful Name—Charles
Wesley/arr. Mary McDonald. This spirit
filled anthem pairs Charles Wesley's
"Blessed Be the Name" with the tune

uplifting anthem of praise. The addition of
the optional handclaps in the final refrain
will bring everyone in on the fun.

Come and Go (To That Land)—arr.
Brandon A. Boyd. Brimming with upbeat
gospel style, this arrangement partners two
traditional spirituals, Come and Go to That
Land and I'll Be Singing Up There. With a
stylized piano accompaniment that can be
further enhanced with bass and drums,
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.
11591420 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .3.25
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.

Cornerstone—Shawn Kirchner. The
composer pulls out all the stops on this

choir. Enjoy this long-time favorite!

Down by the Riverside (with Standing in
the Need of Prayer)—arr. Mary McDonald.
Combining two familiar spirituals, this
dazzling arrangement utilizes an abun-
dance of rhythmic energy to express the need

drums are available. Highly recommended!

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!

Curry. From the film O Brother, Where Art
