Shaw Bailey, Chris Wommack. Based on the

harmonic shifts, call and response vocal lines,
bluesy accompaniment and an uplifting modulation
on the final refrain, this will bring spirit and
celebration to any worship service.

t 'm Going HomePepper Choplin. Introduce
I
your choir to a hearty folk hymn that has a
strength and vitality so typical of the songs from
the Sacred Harp. Featured in the Oscar-nominated
film "Cold Mountain," this sturdy chorus still has
a resolve to stir the soul, and Pepper Choplin's
accessible a cappella arrangement is destined to
be just as successful. Simple, but not simplistic,
it is a homespun, honest selection from
America's spiritual heritage.

H ow Can I Keep from SingingGreg Gilpin.
H
Greg has taken the traditional Quaker text and
positively supercharged it with his own gospelstyled music in this marvelous new look at a
timeless American poem. This one has it all - a
wide-open solo for your best gospel singer, an
accompaniment that's fine as is, or can be
embellished at will by your pianist, and hand
claps from the very first measure that'll quickly
spread through your audience or congregation. A
joyous gospel experience!

Ht ush! Somebody's Calling My NameBrazeal
H
Dennard. This is the most appealing arrangement
of a spiritual that has been done in a long, long
time! The beginning employs a unique treatment
of the word "Hush" that emphasizes the last
two letters of the word in a remarkably effective
way. Including dramatic unison passages and a
short solo section with characteristic background
figures, this is exceptionally easy to put together.
It's guaranteed to become a favorite of your choir
and a highlight of any performance!

H Am His ChildMoses Hogan. "I may not be all
I
that you are, I may not be a shining star, but what
I am I thank the Lord for making me his child." A
deeply moving and profound text, Moses has such
a way of conveying hope and aspiration through
music that it reaches us all.

esus Walked This Lonesome Valleyarr.
Kenneth Drake. The standard American spiritual,
a favorite of singers everywhere, comes to life
anew in this beautiful arrangement for soloist
with choir. Sensitive, moving a cappella writing
highlights the work, which is suitable for both
worship and concert settings.

4 'm a Sinner ManJohn Parker & Vicki Tucker
I
Courtney. This original spiritual will raise the
roof in school and church performances! The
text, derived from two parables from the Book
of Luke, has a simple message: "I'm a sinner
man, and so are you." The message comes
through loud and clear as the choir and piano
accompaniment settle into a swingin', soulful
groove. Highly recommended!

l ord Jesus Walk With MeDavid Lantz III. A
L
thoughtful meditation on the desire to walk with
Christ both in His suffering and in His strength. This
anthem is appropriate for any time of reflection
and prayer in general worship, but particularly
effective at the celebration of the Lord's Supper or
during the Lenten season.

opening measure of Pepper Choplin's a cappella
original, your listeners will know that something
remarkable is about to happen! A soulful gospel

groups of singers, and a heavy inner rhythm all
work together to fashion a choral moment that
penetrates to the soul of everyone involved. Use
the optional stomps and hand claps to keep the
rhythm alive, and watch as Lord, Have Mercy

t Believe This Is Jesusarr. Victor C.
I
Johnson. This Victor C. Johnson arrangement
of this spiritual is both energetic and affirming.
The full choral sound gives the illusion the music
is much more difficult than it actually is, and
the opportunity to feature a soloist or optional
women's trio makes this fulfilling anthem a great
choice any time of the year.

4 Want Jesus to Walk with Mearr. David von
I
Kampen. In this exquisite choral setting for mixed
voices and piano, we find inspiration from both the
American spiritual and gospel styles of an earlier
century. A rich vocal solo opens the piece, and later
floats over luscious chorals harmonized a touch of
jazz to convey the message. This is a finely crafted
setting that will be appreciated in the concert hall
as well as the church sanctuary.

4tLonesome ValleyBrad Nix. One of the most
original a cappella arrangements you will ever
experience, this gem is rugged and emotional on
many levels. Primal in its impact, it conveys the
journey to the cross with a heavy heart. Optional
foot stomps and dropped chains suggest the
burden that weighed Jesus down on the road to
Calvary. The bass section feature and an idiomatic
solo passage create a deep, powerful moment for
worship or concert performance!

ord, I Know I Been ChangedLarry Shackley.
L
"The angels in heaven done signed my name!
Lord, I know I been changed!" Infectious sound
and singable vocal ranges are at the core of this
spiritual arrangement. Rhythmic but not rushed,
the accompaniment creates a mood of quiet
exhilaration with a soulful combination of chords
and rhythmic patterns. Suggesting a choir of
angels, the sopranos sing in call-and-response
with the lower voices, gradually building in
intensity through the final stanza.

y Good Lord's Done Been Herearr. Andre J.
M
Thomas. Andre Thomas' arranging genius is clearly
evident in this exhilarating setting of a lesser-known
spiritual. Featuring a soprano or tenor soloist, and
complemented by an incredibly exciting piano
accompaniment, this vibrant work is a "must" for
better choirs! Highly recommended!

H et Everything that Hath BreathJeffery L.
L
Ames. It is impossible not to be inspired by this
soul-stirring gospel original. The accompaniment
is rock solid, and the choral parts are incredibly
gutsy, with dramatic dynamic swells and accents
that will shake the rafters! "Magnify the Lord with
me and exalt His name together...Let everything
that hath breath praise the Lord!"

l y Lord, What a Morningarr. John Leavitt.
M
Using a palette of minor and major tonalities, John
Leavitt paints a new vision of this beloved spiritual
that church choirs and festival choirs will enjoy.
By keeping the melody in the minor key through
two verses of the song, Leavitt creates a sense of
morning dawn when the final verse settles into the
major key we expect. This is an expressive and
thoughtfully crafted setting.

setting this year for your a cappella choir, this is the
one you want! Brimming with dynamic contrasts,
rhythmic nuances and textual percussiveness,
it is an absolute thrill to sing and hear. "When
I go to walk that golden street, nothin' gonna
stumble, stumble my feet!"
