Full of colorful and expressive harmonies, your choir will find deep beauty in this setting of a treasured spiritual. This moving testament of hope is supported beautifully by the piano accompaniment, or use the optional percussion and string quintet for a truly special presentation. Highly recommended!

Many choirs present concerts of Spirituals from time to time, and this would be an easily accessible addition in a slower tempo. The simple text is treated with profound feeling, and although a certain reverence is maintained throughout, it offers many nice opportunities for choral technique via dynamic contrast and rubato.
The Bottom Line
Pros
This would be a nice choice for a spirituals concert of anyplace that could use a song of hope.
Cons
This piece is quite short, and could perhaps benefit from a restatement of a verse or refrain in another key.
