A very clever treatment of this well-known traditional spiritual, the opening statement is a slow chorale moving into an easy shuffle played around 138 BPM. The melody bounces between sections then into a driving shuffle that swings. Solos are provided for trombone 1 and alto 1, lead trumpet range is to written G. This chart is excellent! (4:45).
