timeless spiritual. True authenticity of the Black
American musical heritage is captured in this
Dawson rendition.

n Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around
Rollo Dilworth. This freedom song was sung
as an anthem of protest during the civil rights
movement to spread the message of faith,
determination and perseverance. The composer
has combined it with original music, to the words of
the Langston Hughes poem Words Like Freedom,
to create a wonderful showcase for treble voices.
10356613 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
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.
Requires a full group, as all parts divide at times.
A rousing hand-clapper!

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!
Highly recommended!

4 Battle of Jerichoarr. Mark Hayes. You've heard
this famous spiritual before, but wait until you hear
it in the skillful hands of Mark Hayes! The piano
part offers a fun-filled adventure; challenging, yet
doable. The choral parts are so compelling that
choir members will beg to sing them again and
again. Listeners will be hard pressed to sit quietly in
their seats when these walls come a-tumblin' down!

Ht The Battle of JerichoMoses Hogan. This

for better choirs and a superlative example of
the compositional skills of Moses Hogan. From

truly extraordinary.

n The Battle of Jerichoarr. Roger Emerson. If
you buy only one spiritual setting for your middle-
school choir this year, this is the one you want.
In classic Roger Emerson style, it's fresh and
contemporary sounding, and it's a great confidence
builder. Full of powerful and dramatic vocal effects,
this is as good as it gets for young and developing
voices! Highly recommended!

Can't Carry These Burdens AloneMichael
Barrett. Here's a unique jazz-styled spiritual
arrangement. The theme, drawn from a traditional
spiritual as well as new material, is quickly learned

4 Chatter with the Angelsarr. Greg Gilpin. A
bouncy piano accompaniment moves this cheerful
arrangement along, as the playful melody is passed
from voice to voice. Greg has great fun weaving
"chatter" through the choir and modulating to the
big finish. Light spiritual repertoire for any group.

H
Ching a Ring Chaw (and Great Gettin' Up
Mornin')Linda Spevacek. These two traditional
songs fit together amazingly well in this excellent
concert/festival selection! Each voice part becomes
more independent as the arrangement progresses,
and when all the parts do their own thing at the same
time, with some "Hallelujah's" thrown in for good
measure, the result is pure delight! Very well done!

l A City Called HeavenDwight Bigler. The
traditional text of this powerful spiritual is set to
a new tune in this innovative arrangement which
combines 4/4 and 12/8 meters. Feelings of great
longing and desperation in the text are expressed
through the tonality and tempo. The polyphonic
writing at the close of the work is expertly crafted
and reflects how the spiritual might have naturally
been sung in its day- each line coming out of what
was heard before.

H City Called Heavenarr. Josephine Poelinitz/
Leck. If you have an expressive soloist, consider this

by Henry Leck of the Indianapolis Children's Choir.

l A City Called Heavenarr. Victor C. Johnson.
