Concert band - Grade 2 - Digital Download SKU: IZ.CBW171-S Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Marsha Chusmir Shapiro. Score. 21 pages. Imagine Music - Digital #CBW171-S. Published by Imagine Music - Digital (IZ.CBW171-S). 9 x 12 in inches.Feel the Spirit is an arrangement of four pre-Civil War spirituals which were sung by slaves inAmerica. These wereChristian songs which described Bible stories (Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho) or about living with the spiritof God (Every Time I Feel the Spirit). Sometimes the spirituals described the hardships of slavery (NobodyKnows the Trouble I've Seen). Most interestingly, some spirituals had hidden meanings. In Swing Low, SweetChariot it appears that the singer is talking about dying and going to heaven, but in actuality, home refers to aplace of freedom, and crossing the river Jordan means overcoming the obstacles to freedom.
