Passionately arranged, "Were You There?" is a beautiful African American spiritual. Even though no identifiable composer is known, this hymn is still a cornerstone of the Christian faith. The generations of rote singing and classical composition are combined into the different verses of this humn. "Were You There?" is full contrasting but yet teambuilding parts. There are solos, chorales, and much more for every single instrument part. Great for either the sanctuary or the concert hall.
