Rise Up Singing!

African American culture has made many lasting contributions to life in this country and all over the world; this collection of eight arrangements will give you strong programming across the spectrum of African American music. From spirituals and anthems to the roots of jazz, you will find songs that inspire and uplift all year round. Most of these settings are fairly straightforward and unison, and all are orchestrated appropriately to the tune. There are also a few outstanding three-part mixed arrangements that have already become concert favorites. Includes: Down by the Riverside; Follow the Drinking Gourd; Get on Board; Yonder Come Day; One More River; Go Down Moses; Lift Every Voice and Sing and This Little Light of Mine. The book and CD pack includes the teacher's handbook with piano/vocal scores, reproducible student parts, and performance/accompaniment recordings –everything you need for classroom use or concert performance.
