In this soulful setting of the traditional spiritual, the word "weary" is sung as a counter-motive to give emphasis to "My God is a rock in a weary land," and the effect is dramatic! As the accented piano accompaniment provides an intense, minor-key drive, the work features brief optional solos and a powerful choral add-on section. This really brings the spiritual to life! Highly recommended! 10514984 TTB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10515003 Multi-Song Accomp. CD . . . . . . 44.99 4t My Good Lord's a Done a Been Here— Stacey V. Gibbs. Good news for male choruses, this setting by Stacey Gibbs never expands to divisi voices as he so often does. OK, there are a few chords near the end, but that's it. That means this joyful Spiritual can work with about any size choir, in church or in concert. Great for high school, college and community choirs.
