Spiritual Medley Sheet music
Part of the Faber Choral Singles series
Sheet music
Description
This Spiritual Medley comprises three songs that speak of a journey through trial to eventual salvation and liberty.
It should gradually gather pace and energy from a slightly more reflective start, though retaining a lively feel throughout.
All My Trials developed into a popular protest song in the 1950s and 60s and has been recorded by, amongst others, Joan Baez, Paul McCartney and Elvis Presley.
By and By is a more upbeat song with plenty of syncopated rhythms and more forthright dynamics - it should be sung and played with lots of energy.
The medley ends with I Want Jesus to Walk With Me, a true 'pilgrim journey' full of trials and breaking hearts, but never giving up on hope and final deliverance.
The tempo should really pick up for this final section, galvanised by the walking bass line and more jazzy harmonies, and reaching its climax in the final few measures. This piece is part of the Faber Choral Singles series, offering a selection of beautifully crafted arrangements in a diversity of musical styles.
From Broadway, pop and folk to spirituals, gospel and original works, the series is arranged for 3-part choir (soprano, alto and a combined male-voice part) providing flexibility for any choir.
Complete with straight-forward piano accompaniments supporting the vocal lines, the Faber Choral Singles series guarantees the perfect repertoire for every occasion - so get exploring and get singing!
