Hold on to your seats for this joyful, black gospel version of the beloved gospel hymn! Set in a relaxed, but highly rhythmic swing feel, you will enjoy the stylized melodies, blues notes, and clipped, short phrasing synonymous with black gospel singing. The SATB sections are set in parallel voice leading, typical of this genre, and there are ample unison sections as well. The piano accompaniment is truly a joy to play and will really shine if played with steady, rhythmic abandon. This arrangement is made to order for any gospel setting where you really want to see “the Spirit come down!” Moderately difficult.
