Medium Voice,Vocal Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1115654 Composed by George Beverly Shea and Rhea F. Miller. Arranged by David Neff. 20th Century,Praise & Worship,Religious,Sacred. 6 pages. David Neff #717425. Published by David Neff (A0.1115654). Here’s a fresh medium-voice arrangement of the classic gospel song written by bass-baritone George Beverly Shea. It is appropriate for any setting where sacred music is welcomed. This arrangement is also available on this site for high voice. Shea wrote the tune for “I’d Rather Have Jesus� at age 23. He’d been offered a well-paying job as a singer on NBC’s Your Hit Parade, and he was struggling with whether to choose a secular singing career or to stick with singing in churches and on Christian radio. He turned down the job offer, stuck with sacred music, and eventually took a role as the main vocalist with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Crusades. “I’d Rather Have Jesus� became his signature tune. It was featured on his first release from RCA records, and because of his role with Billy Graham, it is thought that he sang live before more people than anyone else in history.

Medium voice and piano - intermediate - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q46010 Composed by Max Kowalski. This edition: Sheet music. Downloadable. Op. 1. Duration 28 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q46010. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q46010). German • English.Max Kowalski (1882–1956) was a full-time lawyer who never gave up on his passion for music: singing lessons during his law studies, conducting and counterpoint classes, among others, at Dr. Hoch’s Konservatorium in addition to his work at his own law office in Frankfurt. While studying, he already published his first works; 15 song cycles were published until 1933. In the years that followed, the Jewish-born Kowalski was restricted in working both as a lawyer and as a composer due to his persecution by the National Socialists. In 1938 he was arrested, deported to the concentration camp of Buchenwald and finally forced to flee into exile in London. Contemporaries called Kowalski a lyricist among the composers. The choice of texts of his songs shows his great knowledge and love of German literature. For example, he set to music texts by Friedrich Hölderlin or Rainer Maria Rilke, but also Indian or Japanese poems. Kowalski left numerous unpublished songs which are published by Schott Music in a two-volume edition: Volume 1 (ED 22586) contains his Jewish songs (1935-37), the Heinrich Heine cycle (1937) and all English-language songs (1941-46). Volume 2 (ED 22587) contains Kowalski's late works: the songs based on texts by Friedrich Hölderlin (1950) and the Geisha Lieder according to Klabund (1951).
