Description
This “swinging spiritual” is given a high-energy and rhythmic treatment by William Gordon. The arrangement captures the optimistic and rhythmic character of the original song, featuring bright brass riffs and a driving, walking-bass feel. It is a fantastic “feel-good” item that is perfect for pops concerts or as a lighthearted interlude in a more serious program.
Difficulty 3
(Medium) Fourth year players, or junior high-level students may require these arrangements to be properly challenged. These generally have free use of syncopation as well as section and solo scoring. Cues and cross cues will also be used less.
