Publisher Desc.  This piece is an arrangement of the traditional spiritual "There is a Balm in Gilead". It is a song that has become a spiritual standard, being sung in churches and concert halls throughout the world. This arrangement maintains much of the feel of the original, but with some changes to the harmony to reflect influence from contemporary soul and R&B music, as well as writing a loose canon in the second verse which drives toward the high point of the song. I hope it is a joy for your choir to learn and perform.
