4 I Sing Because I'm HappyRollo Dilworth.
Adapted from the gospel-style interpretation of
the hymn, His Eye Is on the Sparrow, originally
performed and recorded by the Georgia Mass Choir,
this setting has been lowered a step and a bass part
added. It will be an inspirational choice for gospel
and concert choirs, and audience participation on
the hand claps is encouraged!

n 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.

n 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!

n I'm Bound for the Promised Landarr. Lynn
Shaw Bailey. Based on the American folk hymn
Promised Land, this anthem is full of joy and
exuberance. With minor to major harmonic shifts,
call and response vocal lines, bluesy accompaniment

will bring spirit and celebration to any worship service.

n I'm Goin' There! (Wayfaring Stranger)arr.
Greg Gilpin. This is more than just an arrangement
of Wayfaring Stranger. Greg has written an original
counterline which becomes a rhythmic ostinato
beneath the traditional tune and the result is
phenomenal! The familiar melody and poignant
words take on a new level of meaning as they soar
above the soulful accompaniment in this superb
arrangement! Highly recommended!

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.

H I'm Going Up a-YonderWalter Hawkins/arr.

H John the Revelator (Traditional Gospel Blues)
arr. Paul Caldwell & Sean Ivory. If you have the
choir and accompanist to handle this, you must
give it a serious look because it is just phenomenal!
In its original form, the song stems from the Delta
Blues tradition, and was recorded by Blind Willie
Johnson and Son House during the 1920s and
1930s. "O tell me who is that writin'? John the
Revelator...O tell me what is he writin'? 'bout the
Revelation...writin' in the book of seven seals..."
With vocal glissandi, claps, stomps and stunning
dynamics, this is intense, and well worth the work
you put into it!

n Jordan's AngelsRollo Dillworth. Incorporating
the spiritual All Night, All Day, this original gospel
work by Rollo Dillworth makes a wonderful selection
for young singers. The 6/8 groove and repetitive
rhythms are easily learned and the stylized piano
accompaniment gives it an authentic flair. Appealing!

n Joshuaarr. Joseph Martin. Take your children's
choir and their parents on a fun (and a little whacky)
ride through the story of Joshua with this delightful
arrangement of the traditional spiritual! The Bible
story does indeed come shining through but not
before the choir pauses along the way to offer
their own commentary on camel caravans, giants,
funeral dirges, and even their reluctance to "tattle"
while singing about the battle. Pseudo-dramatic at
times, and at others a little jazzy, this is one your
ensemble will enjoy from the first rehearsal to the
final presentation.

n Joshua Fought the Battle of Jerichoarr. James
DesJardins. An electrifying piano accompaniment
and simple two-part vocals make this a fiery
spiritual setting that will be easy to prepare. Equally
appropriate for young voices or high-school women,
it will be very impressive in performance!

Joshua! (Fit the Battle of Jericho)arr. Kirby
Shaw. Powerful vocal pyramids, a contemporary
piano accompaniment and compelling harmonies
combine to make this an extremely strong choice
for mixed and treble choirs. A winner for any
performance occasion, and the new voicings make
it accessible to even more choirs! Dynamic!

n Joshua's BattleGreg Gilpin. Here's a fresh,
exciting arrangement of the traditional spiritual
with an intensely moving, driving beat. When
the lyrics say, "...then Joshua commanded the
children to shout..." there's a dramatic crescendo
and accelerando on the spoken word "shout" that
is extremely effective! Fun vocal glissandi-as the
walls come tumbling down-add the finishing touch!
Highly recommended!
