"Over my head I hear music in the air, there must be a God somewhere." The traditional spiritual is a mix of hopeful lyrics about the future, despite our current afflictions. This setting brings an exciting new life to the traditional melody with an active piano part that moves the piece from lyrical to a syncopated gospel feel without breaking tempo or style. The choral parts employ traditional harmonies and some divisi in the final section to create a full-throated celebration of life.
