Woke Up This Mornin'

A powerful symbol of the American civil rights movement and made popular by the Freedom Riders in 1961, this hymn with reimagined lyrics replaces the name "Jesus" with "freedom" in the refrain. Audiences will thrill to the sound of tenor-bass choirs singing this wonderfully rich spiritual arrangement. With solo opportunities, it also includes a piano accompaniment laden with gospel riffs, adding a richly diverse layer to this setting!
