This two- or three-part arrangement of the
traditional spiritual will be easy to learn because each part is a melody and
there are an abundance of unison notes. The short eight measure melody is
set four different ways with nice tempo changes. However, many of the same
melodic motives are used throughout, reinforcing the idea of the quick learning
time. This is an excellent piece to use with students who are experiencing part
singing for the first time. The
two-part or three-part
variable voicing charts
indicates how to use the piece with different age groups.
