"A Gospel Spiritual" for (SSAATTBB)
This composition is in the style of Moses Hogan and The Mississippi Mass
Choir.
This Gospel Spiritual tells the story of a traveling stranger's viewpoints
while passing through a valley town and what this stranger witnessed and felt
while passing thru.
It describes a story of anger/disbelief, love, compassion, justice,
healing, and finally forgiveness.
"Way Down In The Valley" is a very powerful and very rhythmic
composition. The harmonies are lushes, thick and colorful. This Gospel
Spiritual has a most beautiful delicate graceful moment in the middle. Then
builds back up to a grand climatical rhythmical finale.
