The 21 mixed-voice singers of Director Albert McNeil sing the powerful, emotion-packed spirituals that have been sung, recorded, rearranged and interpreted, and re-recorded for over 150 years. In these14 songs we have a mixture of the simplicity and complexity of arrangements by Moses Hogan, Jester Hairston, Lena McLinn and Albert McNeil, to the unique settings of young composers and arrangers like Stacey Gibbs, Richard Jackson and Augustus O. Hill. Undine Smith Moore's 'Lord We Give Thanks to Thee' was written as a tribute to the 100th Anniversary of the founding of Fisk University's original Jubilee Singers. Hogan's 'Ev'ry Time I Feel the Spirit,' Hill's 'Fix Me Jesus,' McLinn's 'Lit'le Lamb, Lit'le Lamb,' Gibbs' 'Somebody's Knockin' At Yo' Do'' and 'See Dat Babe,' McNeil's dynamic 'John the Revelator' and Hairston's joyous 'Wonderful Counselor' are particularly fine. Authentic, timeless music sung with passion and fire by one of the great Gospel ensembles! |
