4 Got On My Travelin' ShoesEllen Foncannon
Stephenson. It's got spirit, it's got rhythm, and it's a
great piece to sing! With a nod to the classic spiritual,
this original also incorporates On Jordan's Stormy
Banks. The character of the song lends itself to
either church or school performance. "The Promised
Land's a-callin', got on my travelin' shoes..."
10512722 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.35
l Grace Fell Like the RainPaul Caldwell & Sean
Ivory. This vivid and powerful work is loosely inspired
by the traditional spiritual Didn't It Rain. It opens with
a recollection of the story of Noah's flood, then shifts
to reflect on the impact of Hurricane Katrina, finally
turning to the grass-roots relief efforts that followed
and an inspirational conclusion.

t Great DayRandy Jordan. Here's a strong feature
for a cappella men's voices, with baritone solo.
Especially effective are the dynamics, which build
dramatically to a powerful ending. "God's gonna
build up Zion's walls!"

t Great God Almightyarr. Stacey V. Gibbs.
Here is a fresh, captivating a cappella arrange-
ment of a traditional spiritual that begins freely,
then kicks in, quiets down, and builds to a fulfilling
finish. This is excellent for church and school as
well as festival use.

4t Great Is the LordRosephanye Powell.
A brilliant fanfare opening is followed by an energetic,
rhythmic chorus and a contrasting slower middle
section. Then the work builds, starting with one voice
part and adding the rest until all are in. A return to the
rhythmic chorus brings the work to a satisfying finish.
An outstanding concert or festival piece!

n Hand Me Down My Silver Trumpetarr.
Joy Webb/ed. Ashworth. This delightful spiritual
arrangement is an excellent way to introduce two-
part harmony to less experienced singers because
of the natural call-and-response of the refrain. The
optional parts for trumpet and percussion (cued in
the score) will add nice color and excitement to
your performance.

H He Never Failed Me YetRobert Ray. With its
driving beat and enormous appeal, this powerful
gospel work has become the definitive selection
in this style for an entire generation. Use one or
two soloists and be prepared for spontaneous,
hand-clapping joy as your group reaches the finale.
Impressive! (The SSA edition is one step higher, in
the key of C.)

a cappella mixed voices, its quiet but dramatic
rubato style is powerfully moving.

engaging a cappella setting that combines Heaven-

you how. Keep your hand on the gospel plow.
Hold on, hold on!"

original gospel-swing anthem reveals Pepper
Choplin at his creative best! Its irresistible style

the rock" of our salvation through life's trials.
10453794 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.05
H How Can I Keep from Singing?Greg Gilpin.
Greg has taken the traditional Quaker text and
positively supercharged it with his own gospel-
styled music in this marvelous new look at a timeless
American poem. This one has it all - a wide-open
solo for your best gospel singer, an accompaniment
that's fine as is, or can be embellished at will by your
pianist, and hand claps from the very first measure
that'll quickly spread through your audience or
congregation. Highly recommended!

n Hush! Somebody's Callin' My Namearr.
Rollo Dilworth. "Oh, my Lord, oh, my Lord, what
shall I do?" A steady walking bass line, expressive
gospel harmonies, and haunting vocal effects
make this arrangement of the traditional spiritual
truly exceptional for young choirs! There's even
a reference to "follow the drinking gourd" in
the lyrics - a teaching moment for Black History
Month. As a "first spiritual" for elementary or
middle school voices, this is not to be missed!
Highly recommended!

Ht Hush! Somebody's Calling My Name
Brazeal Dennard. This is the most appealing
arrangement of a spiritual that has been done in a
long, long time! The beginning employs a unique
treatment of the word "Hush" that emphasizes
the last two letters of the word in a remarkably
effective way. Including dramatic unison passages
and a short solo section with characteristic
background figures, this is exceptionally easy
to put together. It's guaranteed to become
a favorite of your choir and a highlight of
any performance!

that you are, I may not be a shining star, but what

music that it reaches us all.

l
I Shall Not Be Movedarr. Rollo Dilworth.
Throughout their history, African American
spirituals have been sung in a variety of contexts.
From plantation fields to places of worship to
concert halls, the genre has served the purpose
of communicating messages of faith, hope,
inspiration, equality and freedom. This setting of a
traditional spiritual has special significance related
to the Civil Rights Movement and the struggle for
justice and equality.
