Keep Your Lamps Trimmed and Burning arranged by Philip Kern. For SATB choir (SATB). Shawnee Press. Sacred, spiritual. 12 pages. Shawnee Press #A2362. Published by Shawnee Press (HL.35011984).
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.
