Phil Kern has used his superb arranging skills in this popular and moving African-American spiritual. The percussion, a vital part of the accompaniment, joins an energetic piano to create and support a wide range of vocal dynamics. The ending a cappella chord is stunning as it caps off this outstanding choral work.
