H This Little Light of Minearr. Joel Raney. Your
choir will really love learning and performing this
exciting arrangement of the well-known spiritual.
Original material sets up the spiritual, which opens
with unison children's choir, giving the piece a
sense of innocence. The energy and excitement
that builds is unbelievable, and when you reach
that final verse, the added hand-claps just put it
"over the top!"

Barrett & Doreen Rao. "You are the source of my
strength, You are the strength of my life..." This

H True LightKeith Hampton. Opening phrases
of the traditional spiritual This Little Light of Mine
launch this exciting work into Keith Hampton's
original words and music, which feature a sixteen-
measure soprano solo sung to lines from tenth-
century poet Grigor Narekatzi's Book of Mournful
Chants: "Don't let the light that You've given me
die, And don't desert my mind. But let the one
who serves You Praise You again and again." The
repeated responses "He lives in us as True Light"
and "God gave the world True Light" give solid
impact to every phrase. School and church choirs
will revel in the spiritual depth and driving rhythmic
feel of this extraordinarily soulful choral!
