always-creative pen of Victor Johnson comes this
stunning new setting of Robert Lowry's well-loved
text. Sweeping melodic gestures, rich harmonic
moments, and a lush keyboard accompaniment

settings. Highly recommended!

t Bound for the Promised LandJ. David
Moore. This spiritual original uses three 19th-
century melodies: the shape-note hymn The
Promised Land and two Appalachian fiddle tunes,
Santa Anna's Retreat and The Temperance Reel.
Using the Celtic phenomenon called mouth music
or lilting, the singers accompany the dance music
as fiddlers in a light and energetic fashion.

l By an' By (I'm Gonna Lay Down My Heavy Load)
arr. Lynn Shaw Bailey & Becki Slagle Mayo.
By an' By and When the Morning Comes are
effectively partnered in this easy arrangement.
The upbeat, syncopated melody uses a
pentatonic scale and rhythms with a swing feel.
Choirs of all abilities will sound phenomenal when
singing this concert-closing tune!

Barrett. Here's a unique jazz-styled spiritual

learned while the fun accompaniment adds
just enough spice to make this piece a recipe
for success.

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')arr. 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!

n 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.

n Climbin' up the Mountain, Children!arr. Rollo
Dilworth. Gospel and spiritual meet in this creative
arrangement, which effectively uses modulation
and word painting to give the feeling of "climbing
the mountain." The performance notes help to
make this an excellent teaching piece, while clever
part writing, a solid accompaniment and hand claps
make it lots of fun to perform!
