"Elijah Rock" is a traditional spiritual. It bears some lyrical similarities to another spiritual, "Mary Don't You Weep."
This popular spiritual has been set many times and this arrangement takes a welcome place among those notable versions. Bridging the gap between artistry and accessibility, tune and text come to life with interesting vocal stylings and crafty rhythmic features. A great a cappella choice for choirs of every size!
Voicing: SATB
Now available for SATB! Building on the heritage of the great arrangements of Hairston and Hogan, Rollo Dilworth creates his own unique approach in this setting for treble voices.

A traditional spiritual with a fresh approach. A jazz inflected accompaniment sustains the voices and provides rhythmic movement. Certain melodic rhythms offer a departure from the familiar form of this tune, and cadences resolve in new ways.

Youth choirs and adults alike with love this energetic "swing style" setting of the popular traditional spiritual, "Elijah Rock," by Dave and Jean Perry. Lots of unison singing and call-and-response make this easy to teach, while colorful blues harmonies, scat singing and finger snaps add to the fun! Also included are musical references to "Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho" and "Rock-A My Soul." The easy brass and rhythm parts are a great addition. For worship throughout the year, especially Lent, Reformation and Transfiguration, also great for school concerts! Available in 2 voicings.
Arranger: Dave Perry
Here's a rousing rendition of the beloved spiritual. Dr. Jackson has notated what she learned as a child, honoring her recollection and experience. A hushed introduction layers into an invigorating gospel chorus bursting with soul. Along the way, a few featured soloists and your pianist get many opportunities for improvisation---no two performances need be the same with this truly authentic arrangement.
