Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.904846 Composed by Keith Armstead and Martin Nystrom. Arranged by A. Mazzer editing by Marco Borsoi. Christian,Gospel,Pop,Sacred. Octavo. 21 pages. Marco Borsoi #3432511. Published by Marco Borsoi (A0.904846). The two pieces, which are composed in a Medley, are As the Deer and Hallelujah, Oh Lord we praise your name. They belong, the first to the repertoire of white religious music, generally called Christian Music, which is characterized by a clear influence of the Country and Pop genre and the other to the repertoire of Gospel Music, Afro-American religious music, born in the Christian-Methodist churches in the '30s. The author of As the Deer is Martin J. Nystrom, American composer who, based on a simple and very effective chord progression, resumes the beginning of Psalm 42: As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God ... (Psalm 42, 1-2) The author of Hallelujah, Oh Lord we praise your name is Keith Armstead, minister of music at King George Church of God in King George, VA. The song, with a typical Gospel atmosphere, is characterized by the solo vs. chorus mode, that is to say a short singing phrase performed by a single singer (in this arrangement performed by sopranos) alternates the response of the whole choir. The song is included in the album You can count on Jesus, produced by Armstead and published in 2003.
