This arrangement of the traditional Negro Spiritual, freely arranged by James Miller, has been a staple of the choral music repertoire since its release in 1943. This dramatic, soulful setting features a rich, soaring solo for soprano or tenor, surrounded by characteristic harmonies for the choir.
The "Downloadable Accompaniment Tracks 1-50 singers" bundle contains a part dominant track for each voice part, a balanced voices track, and an accompaniment track if the work is not a cappella (the accompaniment is also included with the part dominant and balanced voices track). Part dominant tracks are the perfect place to start as the highlighted part is dominant with the other parts in the background for reference. The balanced voices track give a full choir balanced volume mix to allow musicians to hear a piece of music as a full performance. The accompaniment track offers the perfect way to practice singing independently and they can even be used in full choir rehearsals or even school performances.
