From its dramatic, yet playful beginning to its theatrical ending, this new arrangement of a classic Bible story in song will keep your audiences enthralled. Hayes has set this popular spiritual in a rhythmic Latin feel with just the right amount of syncopation. The piano accompaniment is especially appealing. The choral part-writing is quite accessible, with unison, 2-part and SATB sections. This is a perfect vehicle to teach your choir about sudden shifts in dynamics, good diction and rhythmic accuracy, and can be programmed for school and church choirs alike.
