Two Parts    Three Parts

 

Part I of this African-American Spiritual is written to be sung by both or either male and female trebles.  Part II (also written in the treble clef) is limited to the comfortable singing area of A-A (above and below middle C) which makes it appropriate for cambiatas (boys in the first phase of change).  Part III in the three-part arrangement is written in the bass clef to be sung by adolescent baritones and changed voices.  Rated as easy, the piece has a very lively piano accompaniment which adds more energy to the already energetic piece.  However, it may be sung acappella, if desired.  Consult the two-part variable voicing chart and the three-part variable voicing chart to see the other voicing options that are available.
