John the Revelator (Traditional Gospel
Blues)—arr. Paul Caldwell & Sean Ivory.
If you have the choir and accompanist

look because it is just phenomenal! In its
original form, the song stems from the

who is that writin'? John the Revelator...
O tell me what is he writin'? 'bout the
Revelation...writin' in the book of seven
seals..." With vocal glissandi, claps,
stomps and stunning dynamics, this is
intense, and well worth the work you
put into it!
