In 1868 William Francis Allen published a collection of spirituals songs sung by slaves whilst they worked. This book started a flood of enthusiasm for the spiritual which continues to this day. Jubilation (a time for celebration) uses the spiritual 'My Lord What A Morning' as the main melody for transitions and modulations throughout and to introduce three further spirituals: I'm Gonna Sing Steal Away and Ev'ry Time I Feel the Spirit.

Spiritual-The lyrics and melody of this glorious hymn come from the fertile musical tradition of American slaves. The scriptural reference is Mathew 24:30. Douglas Smith has arranged this piece for 2 B flat trumpet/cornet a trombone/baritone/horn in F and a trombone/baritone with optional tuba.
