l Steal Awayarr. Gwyneth Walker. Steal Away
interprets the traditional spiritual Steal Away to
Jesus as a song of alternating sorrow and strength.
The refrains are presented quietly and mournfully:
"Steal away to Jesus. I ain't got long to stay here."
In contrast, the verses are sung with conviction:
"My Lord calls me, calls me by the thunder."
Similarly, the accompaniment varies from florid
arpeggiations (for the refrains) to rhythmic chordal
entrances (for the verses). Of special interest is the
use of scale patterns. In the opening refrain, and
on every occurrence of the words "steal away," the
scales descend, marked as falling tears, or stealing
away. At the conclusion of the song, the scales rise,
as the soul ascending to heaven. "My Lord calls
me, calls me home."

and beautifully choral, it expresses the innermost

"temptation's flaming arrows." An optional clarinet
obbligato adds inspiration for troubled souls.
