Very few people arrange a cappella better than Don Besig and Nancy Price! 'There is Joy, Joy, Joy! a new Christmas gospel joins the rank of their other great hits in this genre. Subtly employing the spiritual 'Go, Tell It on the Mountain,' this piece practically sings itself. You will treasure each moment spent on this anthem perfect for Christmas but also good for Epiphany. Next we have an actual arrangement of 'Go Tell It on the Mountain.' From the moment your choir starts the rhythmic, gospel-like accompaniment of this well-known Christmas spiritual, to the rousing jazz finale, the congregation will be swept along. Varying choral textures and use of contrasting dynamics provide lively interest. Houston Bright's 'I Hear A Voice A-Prayin'' is another gem. The occasional divisi within each voice part makes this a fun and challenging piece for your choir's Holiday program. 'The Water Is Wide' is done perfectly by Roger Folstrom. Its flowing melodies and lush harmonies make it a great spiritual for any time of the year.
