Arranged in the traditional spiritual format, this Hayes setting is one that can be prepared quickly and used successfully in a variety of programs in churches or schools. Rhythmic and energetic, it is easy and fun to sing, particularly in the refrain where the joy of the promise that, “there ain’t no dyin’ over there,” is so beautifully reflected in the music. The piano accompaniment is not difficult, nor are the voice parts or rhythms, so this piece is accessible to almost any high school or adult chorus.
