H
Let It Shine!arr. Nancy Price & Don Besig. If you
buy only one piece all year long for your young two-
part choir, you should seriously consider making
this that one piece! Marvelously set for young
voices by Don Besig and Nancy Price, this uses the
exceptionally familiar spiritual/folksong This Little
Light Of Mine and adds two countermelodies, a
"walking bass" line and finger snaps to create what
is undoubtedly the most appealing work of its type
in many, many years!

H Let Me FlyRobert DeCormier. "O let me fly to
Mount Zion, Lord!" This bright, uplifting spiritual
has become a standard in the choral repertoire
for divisi a cappella mixed choirs, and is a
perennial favorite for festival performances. Now
scored for SSAA, it will surely be popular with
women's choirs as well.

Let Me Flyarr. Rollo Dilworth. In the traditional
spiritual Let Me Fly, the chariot is presented as a
symbol of freedom. This creative setting for two-
part treble choirs offers lots of opportunities for
musical growth and expression with its steady
marching accompaniment, interesting harmonies,
strophic variation and well-crafted vocals.

Roger Emerson. From Roger's popular series
of contemporary spirituals for young choirs, this
setting marvelously displays your singers at their
best! Strong harmonies, rock-solid voice leading,
and an active piano part will resonate through the
walls of your concert hall!

Let the Saints Get Up and SingJoel Raney.
A short medley of two spirituals that packs a lot of
punch, yet is still appropriate for various services
or programs. Joel Raney masterfully segues
between When the Saints Go Marching In and In
That Great Gettin' Up Morning. Fun, exciting, and
highly recommended!

4 Lift Up Your Voice!Victor C. Johnson. Here's
a kickin' gospel original with energy to spare!
Spirited syncopations and intricate chord changes
authenticate the style, and a short piano solo paves
the way for a funky vocal stack that drives to the
end and brings it all home! With or without the
recorded track (with organ), this is a barnburner!
Highly recommended!

Little David, Play on Your Harparr. Rollo
Dilworth. This arrangement presents the traditional
spiritual with a rhythmic, vibrant gospel feel. Be
sure to consider it for a performance with combined
choirs, as the voice parts in the two editions are
designed to be compatible. Singers of all ages will
enjoy the Old Testament story of David's triumph
over the mighty giant, Goliath.

n Little Innocent Lambarr. Greg Gilpin. Your
choristers will love singing this upbeat setting of
a traditional spiritual that has clever syncopations
and a fun piano accompaniment. Every listener will
welcome this delightful selection, whether it appears
in concert, worship services, or even at December
performances. Present this as a unison piece with
your younger singers, a two-part piece with your
more capable ensemble, or now a three-part mixed
for middle school and more experienced singers.

t Lonesome Valleyarr. Brad Nix. One of the most
original arrangements you will ever experience, this
gem is rugged and emotional on many levels.
Primal in its impact, it conveys the central theme
of burden and hardship. Optional foot stomps and
dropped chains are used as a musical and dramatic
element to emphasize the torment and grief. The
bass section is featured as well as an idiomatic
solo passage creating a deeply impacting moment
in performance.
10340321 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90
lt Lord, Give Me Just a Little More TimeAlbert
E. Brumley/arr. Derrick Fox. This southern gospel
spiritual will raise the roof of your concert hall or
sanctuary with a "Saturday night revival" feel and
foot-tapping a cappella harmonies! Add the hand-
claps to bring it on home!

t Lord, LordThomas More Scott. "Listen to me
like a sensible man." Everyone will sit up and
listen when your mixed choir - or men's choir -
hits the first measure of this infectious spiritual.
Great rhythms, a touch of jazz and string bass
accompaniment all come together to admonish the
flock: "Not everyone who cries 'Lord, Lord' is gonna
walk into the Kindgom of God."

t Lord, Have MercyPepper Choplin. From the
opening measure of Pepper Choplin's a cappella
original, your listeners will know that something
remarkable is about to happen! A soulful gospel
style, bluesy harmonies, occasional solos or small
groups of singers, and a heavy inner rhythm all work
together to fashion a choral moment that penetrates
to the soul of everyone involved. Use the optional
stomps and hand claps to keep the rhythm alive, and
watch as Lord, Have Mercy becomes one of your
choir's favorites to sing throughout the year. Terrific!

Lord, I Know I Been ChangedLarry Shackley.
"The angels in heaven done signed my name!
Lord, I know I been changed!" Infectious sound
and singable vocal ranges are at the core of this
spiritual arrangement. Rhythmic but not rushed,
the accompaniment creates a mood of quiet
exhilaration with a soulful combination of chords
and rhythmic patterns. Suggesting a choir of
angels, the sopranos sing in call-and-response
with the lower voices, gradually building in intensity
through the final stanza.

n Music Down in My SoulMoses Hogan.
Premiered at the World Choral Symposium
in Minneapolis, this gospel praise song was
inspired by the spiritual Over My Head. The
dynamic piano accompaniment adds to the
excitement, making this a fantastic choral feature
or concert closer. Exuberant!

4 My God Is a Rockarr. Ruth Morris Gray. 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!

4t My Good Lord's a Done a Been HereStacey
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. Easy.
10513659 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.45
My Good Lord's Done Been Herearr. Andre J.
Thomas. Andre Thomas' arranging genius is clearly
evident in this exhilarating setting of a lesser-known
spiritual. Featuring a soprano or tenor soloist, and
complemented by an incredibly exciting piano
accompaniment, this vibrant work is a "must" for
better choirs! Highly recommended!

Ht Nothin' Gonna Stumble My FeetGreg Gilpin
& John Parker. If you buy only one new spiritual
setting this year for your a cappella choir, this is the
one you want! Brimming with dynamic contrasts,
rhythmic nuances and textual percussiveness, it
is an absolute thrill to sing and hear. "When I go
to walk that golden street, nothin' gonna stumble,
stumble my feet!"

contemporary harmonies and cool syncopation

and festival selection that's not to be missed.

Oh Happy DayEdwin R. Hawkins/arr. Hayes.
The Edwin Hawkins Singers had a huge hit with
this powerhouse gospel song back in 1969, and
it's still going strong! Mark Hayes' gospel-rock
arrangement captures all the excitement of the
original, and it gives you an opportunity to highlight
a favorite soloist or two in front of the choir.
