setting this year for your a cappella choir, this is the

n O Mary, Don't You Weep (Tell Martha Not
to Mourn)arr. Rollo Dilworth. This setting of
a popular African-American spiritual uses the
traditional text, while the harmonic, melodic and
rhythmic elements are in more of a gospel style.
The energetic refrain is presented first in unison
and then in harmony while the verses are softer,
more reflective and hopeful. The final section
builds in intensity, with optional repeats, to a rich
and powerful fortissimo. An outstanding choice for
concert and festival programming!

Way Over in
Beulah Lan'
Understanding and
Performing the
Negro Spiritual
Andre J. Thomas/ed. Kropff.
Renowned choral conductor and
educator Andre J. Thomas has
crafted a book that the conductor
of any choral ensemble - be it
church, high school, university, or
professional - will want close at
hand when preparing to program
any concert spiritual. Understanding
the Spiritual, the first of the book's
two sections, is an exploration of the
beginnings of the spiritual, its role
in society and its transition into art
music. Issues of interpretation - text,
diction, rhythm, and tempo - are
addressed in the second section,
Performing the Spiritual. In addition
to interviews with noted conductors
Dr. Anton Armstrong and Professor
Judith Willoughby, focusing on
performance and selection, it features
Dr. Thomas' personal reflections on
several spiritual arrangements. He
discusses his rehearsal techniques
(with specific examples and measure-
number references to the included
scores) and shares valuable insights
into his approach to interpretation.
This practical, personable book
will help you develop a firm
understanding of the spiritual and
realize the full potential of the
spirituals your choirs perform!
