Singin' in the Spirit

Here is an impressive musical celebration of the African American spiritual. The adaptability and endurance of these songs passed down to us from the African American slaves reveals the universality of their themes and their ability to carry forward a message that transcends race, cultural differences and socioeconomic classes. Performed in its entirety, this is a dramatic 30-minute musical filled with unforgettable emotion. The narration tells the stories behind and meanings within the spirituals, and the struggles of the people who created and passed on this whole body of music so essential to our American heritage. Each arrangement can also be performed alone as individual choral anthems suitable for both concerts and worship services. Titles include: Deep River; I Want Jesus to Walk with Me; Ev'ry Time I Feel the Spirit; Steal Away; Swing Low, Sweet Chariot; Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho and We Shall Overcome.
