Black spirituals are often put into two categories:  They are either about hardships encountered here on earth, or the reward expected in heaven. This spiritual exemplifies the former.  It became well known to twentieth century America due to recordings by Louis Armstrong and Lena Horne.  It remains popular today. 

 

Melody-part style compositional technique characterizes this arrangement.  The students will learn it quickly because each part is melodic.  The four-part variable voicing chart indicates how to use the piece with different age groups.
