Go Tell It on The Mountain is an Afro-American Spiritual Song. This version is arranged as a duet for two Trumpets.
Go Tell It on The Mountain is most often considered a Christmas Carol with the original lyrics,
Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere;
Go tell it on the mountain, that Jesus Christ is born.
Nothing is known of its origins, but it first appeared in print in an 1865 collection of Spirituals. More recently, the lyrics have been adapted to support the struggle for human rights, most famously by Peter, Paul and Mary in 1963.
Go Tell It on The Mountain is simply arranged in keys and range best suited to the instruments. The melody is played twice in swing style after a brief introduction; after a short breakdown the key changes and the melody is repeated at a slower tempo.
