One of the best-known spirituals, this familiar tale of the Israelites and their struggle to escape Egypt was used as a metaphor for slaves in the American south wanting to escape to states where they could live free.
We have crafted a unique arrangement that combines a concert approach to the tune with a gospel swing setting. It can be performed either as 3-part mixed or as a unison arrangement. The kit includes rehearsal tracks for parts 2 and 3, as well as a unison version. (from Music K-8, Vol. 22, No. 3)
