Ht Hush! Somebody's Calling My NameBrazeal
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!

I Want Jesus to Walk with Mearr. David von
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.

I'm a Sinner ManJohn Parker & Vicki Tucker
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!

and exuberance. With minor to major 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 I'm Going HomePepper Choplin. Introduce
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.

4t King Jesus Is A-Listenin'arr. Ken Berg. This
exceptional spiritual arrangement is filled with
excitement from beginning to end! The melody of
the refrain is well supported by a steady ostinato-like

the verses to tell the Biblical stories of Adam, Eve,
and Paul. Refreshing dynamic contrasts, syncopated
rhythms, and a climactic ending make this
arrangement one not to miss! Highly recommended!

with dramatic dynamic swells and accents that will

exalt His name together...Let everything that hath
breath praise the Lord!"

t Lonesome Valleyarr. Brad 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

solo passage create a deep, powerful moment for
worship or concert performance!

Lord, I Know I Been ChangedLarry Shackley.
"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.
