The choral collection Hallelujah. Gospels and Spirituals transports us into the fascinating world of African American folk songs. 30 gospels and spirituals have been arranged for mixed choir, unaccompanied or with piano. The choral parts sometimes divide, and occasionally solo parts (or even a small choral group) are required. The arrangements with their catchy rhythms, groove, their blue notes and other elements from Jazz and Blues and the principles of call-and-response will move performers and audiences in equal measure. As well as American classics (e.g. Amazing grace, Go down Moses, Kumbaya, Deep river, Down by the riverside, Good News, O when the saints, Nobody knows, Joshua fit the battle of Jericho), the collection also contains some discoveries from the beginnings of the genre. Just under half the arrangements were specially commissioned for the collection. Young composers from the USA (such as Courtney Carey, Marques Garrett) and arrangers from Canada, Denmark, and Germany (including Mark Sirett, John Hoybye, Thomas Gabriel, Carsten Gerlitz, Gunther Martin Gottsche, and Hans Ludemann) have contributed to this stylistically extremely varied choral collection. The medium difficulty level will enable many choirs to get to grips with the gospel style, something which perhaps few of them are very familiar with. Tips from the editors on performance, and a CD recording with a selection of the arrangements will help with learning the pieces. With their deep and emotional symbolism of captivity and repression on the one hand and redemption and freedom on the other hand, these Gospel settings are well-suited for many uses in concerts and church services. arrangements of around 30 spirituals and gospels for four-part mixed choir a cappella or with keyboard accompaniment medium difficulty level a good introduction for choirs with little previous experience of this repertoire includes popular classics such as Amazing grace, Deep river, Go down Moses, Good News, Nobody knows, Joshua fit the battle of Jericho wide variety of styles with many new arrangements conductor's score with CD Introductory price: 29.90 Euro, from 01.12.2019: 34.90 Euro.

In 1961, a diverse group of student activists organized a movement called Freedom Riders to challenge racial segregation in Southern states. Their strategy was to ride busses into cities with segregation laws and deliberately break them. For instance, white students would use colored only restrooms, while black students would sit at white only food counters. The hope was that, when confronted by police, the federal government would be forced to step in and defend the students' constitutional rights. On many occasions, these demonstrations were met with violent behavior from locals, including beatings and a firebombing. Ultimately, these Freedom Riders helped lead to the abolishment of segregation by bringing national attention to the injustices of segregation. While touring, the Freedom Riders would collectively perform songs with messages about freedom and justice. One participant, African -American preacher Rev. Robert Wesby, reimagined the lyrics of the hymn Woke Up this Mornin' by replacing the name Jesus with freedom in each refrain. This version of the hymn went on to become a powerful symbol of the American civil rights movement.In 1961, a diverse group of student activists organized a movement called “Freedom Riders†to challenge racial segregation in Southern states.

Born out of the sufferings of Black people during slavery, spirituals express sorrow, hope, despondency, faith, and joy. These songs reflect the conditions in which slaves found themselves and are relevant to the conditions in which we all find ourselves at various times in our lives. Norah Duncan IV arranged these pieces during such conditions, as the pandemic raged and Black Lives Matter marches exploded throughout our country in the summer of 2020. While retaining the essence of these spirituals, Norah has raised them to the category of art songs, making this collection an amazing source of repertoire for the gifted singer. CONTENTS: City Called Heaven • Didn’t My Lord Deliver Daniel • Give Me Jesus • Here’s One • I Couldn’t Hear Nobody Pray • I’ve Just Come from the Fountain • I Want Jesus to Walk with Me • Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen • Oh What a Beautiful City • Ride Up in the Chariot.
