Each of the voice parts gets to carry the melody throughout the course of the arrangement creating extra interest for the singers.

A light, brisk spiritual arranged for a cappella voices. With independent lines playing with each other throughout, giving some gospel-type solos for the soprano section, the piece makes an excellent concert/festival selection for an advanced choir! Good choice!

The melodies in this medley come from Early American sources. The opening fife tune was found in a Revolutionary War collection. Our Native Land appeared in a school music book in 1871. The Appalachian tune can be found in many shape-note hymnals. And the march entitled Washington Crossing the Delaware is from the late 18th century. The optional score and parts for full orchestra (00201894) make this a wonderful concert closer for a concert of early American songs, Patriotic songs, and indigenous songs of our country.

A heavy blues beat defines this arrangement of this traditional spiritual. The arranger calls for wailing and the passion required from the chorus and the mezzo-soprano soloist are critical in bringing this arrangement to life. This is a classic example of the concert spiritual.
