n Climbin' Up the Mountainarr. Tom Fettke.
Everyone loves a spiritual, and Tom Fettke has
outdone himself with this arrangement! It powerfully
captures the original's spirit of determination as it
mentions three biblical characters who overcame
serious trials. The choral writing has all the texture
and harmonic interest of an a cappella piece, but
the colorful and supportive piano accompaniment
makes it accessible for almost any choir.

This lively and effective arrangement of a traditional
slave song retells a compelling story about the
road to freedom. Syncopated rhythms and a
variety of hand-held percussion give the setting

Very nicely done!

Follow The Drinking Gourdarr. Glenda
E. Franklin. Believed to be written after the Civil
War, this American folk song is often credited
as a spiritual based on the idea that the words

and interesting piano accompaniment can be
enhanced with ad lib. percussion while the melody,
harmony, text and rhythm combine to create an
unforgettable performance.
