Ht Ain't Got Time to DieHall Johnson. A fun,
syncopated, spiritual-type piece for a cappella
choir. There's also a part for a soprano solo.

t Ain't Judgin' No ManGreg Gilpin. Cut from
the same cloth as the great traditional spirituals,
this riveting a cappella original has unwavering
rhythmic intensity, gripping minor-key sonorities,
and a marvelous text. "Ain't judgin' no man for the
life he leads, ain't passin' no judgment on my fellow
man, I'm leavin' it all in the good Lord's hands..."
It's exciting as it builds and builds to a big finish!

and believe that He's right there just for you..." This
will raise the rafters!

Glory, Glory, HallelujahHoward Helvey. "I
am thankful for the journey...I am hopeful for the
future...since I lay my burdens down." While this
choral work is indeed a gospel powerhouse, it
maintains a restrained, easy gospel feel that builds
slowly to a thrilling conclusion. A fusion of the
American gospel style and jazz harmonies, this is
a musical portrait that encapsulates the triumph of
the human spirit. There is simply nothing better for
mixed chorus or men's voices in either the church
or concert hall. Unforgettable!
