What a brilliant marriage of two seemingly contrasting tunes in this setting by Mary McDonald! The spiritual Rise Up, Shepherds, and Follow has been combined with Andrae Crouch's Soon and Very Soon in such a seamless way that it almost seems these melodies have always resided together. The gospel-styled piano accompaniment is a wonderful addition to the mix and blends well with the choral lines. The addition of an optional tenor solo and hand clapping will only further serve to enhance the impact of this anthem. This one is not to be missed!
