Everything you would expect from Rosephanye and more is in this great piece. A brilliant fanfare opener followed by an energetic and rhythmic chorus, a contrasting slow middle section that is lush and melodic, a building sequence segment starting with one voice part and adding until all are in, and finally a return to the rhythmic chorus with a satisfying finish. One of the unique features in Rosephanye's writing is that her music works as a church anthem or as a school concert piece, frequently in festivals, too. Medium difficulty.

Rosephanye Powell has created a new spiritual for Christmas that sounds like we have been singing it for years. The basic melody is carried by a small group or solo voice and the choral parts serve as the accompaniment and sometimes as a response to the melody. The pace is quick and energetic and, as always, Rosephanye's rhythms are a joy to sing.

Rosephanye Powell exploded onto the choral market scene with "The Word Was God", and has had a following ever since. This a cappella setting uses divided vocal parts and a rhythmic playfulness that captures a fresh spirit. Her gift is to create music that sounds complex, but is solid for the singers to grasp.
