Jay Rouse : Go Tell It!

Soulful energy fills this arrangement of Go Tell It On the Mountain based on the recording by Sandi Patty on her CD Yuletide Joy. Starting with a heartfelt and moving solo, the choir enters in a slow gospel swing that develops into powerful, jazz-filled harmonies leading to a triumphant ending. A Christmas showstopper for mixed choirs!
