n Keep Your Lamps Trimmed and Burningarr.
Glenda E. Franklin. A rocking bass figure in the
accompaniment gives this arrangement a subtle,
cool foundation, and the voice parts follow suit with
a gentle, laid-back feel. Your students will enjoy
developing their independent part-singing and
phrasing as they learn from the historical notes
about how this song played a role in the history of
the Underground Railroad.

Greg Gilpin. If you're looking for something a little
different to perform in the spiritual style, take a
close look at this nicely rhythmic setting by Greg
Gilpin. Interlocking vocals sing over a pulsating
piano accompaniment that interprets a text of
joyous anticipation, awaiting the Lord's coming.

satisfying work that will be enjoyed by all who hear.

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
vocal accompaniment; all voices come together on
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!

l Lay Earth's Burden DownPaul Caldwell & Sean
Ivory. Based on a traditional spiritual, with piano
and optional percussion, this thoughtful concert

H Let Everything that Hath BreathJeffery L.
Ames. It is impossible not to be inspired by this
soul-stirring gospel original. The accompaniment is
rock solid, and the choral parts are incredibly gutsy,
with dramatic dynamic swells and accents that will
shake the rafters! "Magnify the Lord with me and
exalt His name together...Let everything that hath
breath praise the Lord!"

H Let It Shine!arr. Nancy Price & Don Besig. If you
buy only one piece all year long for your young two-
part choir, you should seriously consider making
this that one piece! Marvelously set for young
voices by Don Besig and Nancy Price, this uses the
exceptionally familiar spiritual/folksong This Little
Light Of Mine and adds two countermelodies, a
"walking bass" line and finger snaps to create what
is undoubtedly the most appealing work of its type
in many, many years!

H Let Me FlyRobert DeCormier. "O let me fly to
Mount Zion, Lord!" This bright, uplifting spiritual has
become a standard in the choral repertoire for divisi
a cappella mixed choirs, and is a perennial favorite
for festival performances. Now scored for SSAA, it
will surely be popular with women's choirs as well.

Let Me Flyarr. Rollo Dilworth. In the traditional
spiritual Let Me Fly, the chariot is presented as a
symbol of freedom. This creative setting for two-
part treble choirs offers lots of opportunities for
musical growth and expression with its steady
marching accompaniment, interesting harmonies,
strophic variation and well-crafted vocals.

4 Let the Saints Get Up and SingJoel Raney.
A short medley of two spirituals that packs a lot of
punch, yet is still appropriate for various services
or programs. Joel Raney masterfully segues
between When the Saints Go Marching In and In
That Great Gettin' Up Morning. Fun, exciting, and
highly recommended!

n Little David, Play on Your Harparr. Larry
Shackley. This rousing rendition of the playful
spiritual is a true showstopper with its bright, lively
rhythms and interesting interaction between parts.
The Americana-style accompaniment sometimes
sounds like a harp, sometimes like a banjo, and
sometimes like a bass fiddle. This energetic concert
finale will have your audiences on their feet!
10366659 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95
Little David, Play on Your Harparr. Rollo
Dilworth. This arrangement presents the traditional
spiritual with a rhythmic, vibrant gospel feel. Be
sure to consider it for a performance with combined
choirs, as the voice parts in the two editions are
designed to be compatible. Singers of all ages will
enjoy the Old Testament story of David's triumph
over the mighty giant, Goliath.

4 Little Innocent Lambarr. Greg Gilpin. Your
choristers will love singing this upbeat setting of
a traditional spiritual that has clever syncopations
and a fun piano accompaniment. Every listener
will welcome this delightful selection, whether it
appears in concert, worship services, or even at
December performances. Present this as a unison
piece with your younger singers, or a two-part piece
with your more capable ensemble. A real treat!
10416543 Unison/Two-Part . . . . . . . . . 2.10
t Lonesome Valleyarr. Brad Nix. One of the most
original arrangements you will ever experience, this
gem is rugged and emotional on many levels.
Primal in its impact, it conveys the central theme
of burden and hardship. Optional foot stomps and
dropped chains are used as a musical and dramatic
element to emphasize the torment and grief. The
bass section is featured as well as an idiomatic
solo passage creating a deeply impacting moment
in performance.
10340321 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90
n A Long Way from Homearr. Ruth Elaine
Schram. Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child
and the Going Home theme from Dvorak's "New
World Symphony" combine effortlessly in this lovely,
flowing setting. Dreamy, poignant and tasteful at
every turn, it will touch the hearts of all who hear it.
The optional notes for baritone make it singable by
any mixed choir. Highly recommended!
10065345 Three-Part Mixed . . . . . . . . . 1.80
t Lord, LordThomas More Scott. "Listen to me
like a sensible man." Everyone will sit up and
listen when your mixed choir - or men's choir -
hits the first measure of this infectious spiritual.
Great rhythms, a touch of jazz and string bass
accompaniment all come together to admonish the
flock: "Not everyone who cries 'Lord, Lord' is gonna
walk into the Kindgom of God."

t Lord, Have MercyPepper Choplin. From the
opening measure of Pepper Choplin's a cappella
original, your listeners will know that something
remarkable is about to happen! A soulful gospel
style, bluesy harmonies, occasional solos or small
groups of singers, and a heavy inner rhythm all work
together to fashion a choral moment that penetrates
to the soul of everyone involved. Use the optional
stomps and hand claps to keep the rhythm alive, and
watch as Lord, Have Mercy becomes one of your
choir's favorites to sing throughout the year. Terrific!

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.
