Wanna Die Easy When I Die

Made famous by Sweet Honey in the Rock, this a cappella arrangement is newly engraved by a scholarly committee dedicated to Dr. Barnwell's works, and now features an optional alto solo, separate lines for baritones and basses, and more dynamics to help shape the vocal lines. Though there is divisi, the harmonies are accessible, and the thick choral texture makes the message of this traditional spiritual even more impactful.
