Review:
The vitality and vibrancy of the well-known African-American spiritual is effectively captured in this arrangement. Following a strong unison opening, the selection features syncopated rhythms highlighted by numerous bell techniques including thumb damps, swings, and mallets. All ringers remain active throughout and the melody is shared by upper and mid-range bells. The piece will be enjoyed by both youth and adult ensembles. Measures total 61.
