Spirituals & Gospel Selections
n I Sing Because I'm HappyRollo Dilworth.
Adapted from the gospel-style interpretation of
the hymn His Eye Is on the Sparrow, originally
performed and recorded by the Georgia Mass
Choir, this setting has been lowered a step and a
bass part has been added. It will be an inspirational
choice for gospel and concert choirs, and audience
participation on the hand claps is encouraged!

n I Wanna Be Readyarr. Rosephanye Powell.
Spirited and rhythmic, this arrangement has lots of
inner fire and is easy to prepare. It has repeated
phrases, a driving piano accompaniment, and
a solo spot for soprano that all combine for a
rousing choral selection for concerts, festivals or
adjudications. Nicely done!

n I Want Jesus to Walk with Mearr. David von
Kampen. In this exquisite choral setting with piano,
we find inspiration from both the American spiritual
and gospel styles of an earlier century. A rich vocal
solo opens the piece, and later floats over luscious
chorals harmonized a touch of jazz to convey the
message. This is a finely crafted setting that will be
appreciated in the concert hall as well as the church
sanctuary. Don't miss the new SA revoicing!

l I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free
Billy Taylor/arr. Kirby Shaw. This gospel/jazz
song is best known for the 1967 Nina Simone
recording. It makes a wonderful choral showcase,
testifying to the longing for freedom and justice for
all people.

n I'm a Sinner ManJohn Parker & Vicki Tucker
Courtney. This original spiritual will raise the roof in
school and church performances! The text, derived
from two parables from the Book of Luke, has a
simple message: "I'm a sinner man, and so are
you." The message comes through loud and clear
as the choir and piano accompaniment settle into a
swingin', soulful groove. Highly recommended!

n I'm Goin' There! (Wayfaring Stranger)arr.
Greg Gilpin. This is more than just an arrangement
of Wayfaring Stranger. Greg has written an original
counterline which becomes a rhythmic ostinato
beneath the traditional tune and the result is
phenomenal! The familiar melody and poignant
words take on a new level of meaning as they soar
above the soulful accompaniment in this superb
arrangement! Highly recommended!

t I'm Going HomePepper Choplin. Introduce
your choir to a hearty folk hymn that has a
strength and vitality so typical of the songs from
the Sacred Harp. Featured in the Oscar-nominated
film "Cold Mountain," this sturdy chorus still has
a resolve to stir the soul, and Pepper Choplin's
accessible a cappella arrangement is destined to
be just as successful. Simple, but not simplistic, it
is a homespun, honest selection from America's
spiritual heritage.
8067547 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95
H I'm Going Up a-YonderWalter Hawkins/arr.

well as adults will enjoy its positive message and
rhythmic vitality.

n I'm Gonna Sing with Over My Headarr.
Terry D. Taylor. Two songs in one! First, the piano
accompaniment gently supports the introduction of
each melody. Then the fun begins as the two songs
partner. This piece will be a cinch to put together,
and your young singers will enjoying singing these
timeless spirituals.

lt I'm Just a Poor Wayfarin' Strangerarr.
Patti Drennan. Set in an easy swing groove, this

H John the Revelator (Traditional Gospel Blues)
arr. Paul Caldwell & Sean Ivory. If you have the
choir and accompanist to handle this, you must
give it a serious look because it is just phenomenal!
In its original form, the song stems from the Delta
Blues tradition, and was recorded by Blind Willie
Johnson and Son House during the 1920s and
1930s. "O tell me who is that writin'? John the
Revelator...O tell me what is he writin'? 'bout the
Revelation...writin' in the book of seven seals..."
With vocal glissandi, claps, stomps and stunning
dynamics, this is intense, and well worth the work
you put into it!

n Jordan's AngelsRollo Dilworth. Incorporating the
spiritual All Night, All Day, this original gospel work by
Rollo Dilworth makes a wonderful selection for young
singers. The 6/8 groove and repetitive rhythms are
easily learned and the stylized piano accompaniment
gives it an authentic flair. Appealing!

n Joshuaarr. Joseph Martin. Take your children's
choir and their parents on a fun (and a little whacky)
ride through the story of Joshua with this delightful
arrangement of the traditional spiritual! The Bible
story does indeed come shining through but not
before the choir pauses along the way to offer
their own commentary on camel caravans, giants,
funeral dirges, and even their reluctance to "tattle"
while singing about the battle. Pseudo-dramatic at
times, and at others a little jazzy, this is one your
ensemble will enjoy from the first rehearsal to the
final presentation.

J. Thomas. This energy-driven setting of the

jazz piano accompaniment.

n Joshua Fought the Battle of Jerichoarr. James
DesJardins. An electrifying piano accompaniment
and simple two-part vocals make this a fiery
spiritual setting that will be easy to prepare. Equally

choirs through massed choir performances.

Greg Gilpin. If you're looking for something a little
different to perform in the spiritual style, take a

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.

Keep Your Lamps!arr. Victor Johnson.
Opening with "Keep your lamps trimmed and
burning!" as a dramatic rubato statement, this
incredibly creative arrangement then kicks into a
driving, rhythmically intense feel that never lets up!

t 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!

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!"
