Similar in style to Gibbs' arrangements of Now Let Me Fly and Swing Low, Sweet Chariot, this stunning arrangement highlights the conviction of the traditional spiritual through rich choral textures and a solid rhythmic drive. With slow cadence and a minor key that expresses the longing for better days, it allows more advanced treble choirs to explore the historical context with musical sensitivity.
