Product Description
This fresh arrangement blends together two simple traditional spirituals, Ain't That Good News! (Proverbs 25:25) and Shout for Joy!, and gives them a more modern and bluesy sound. Arranged for soloist(s) and SATB choir (also available for SSAA), this medley starts with a soulful rubato introduction, and then jumps into a swinging gospel beat. In her signature style, Joanna Mills uses the traditional call-and-response format, but adds excitement with key changes, and layered harmonies and rhythms. Perfect for Easter and Thanksgiving services, Black History Month, celebrations of life, and services about joy and happiness. Approximate performance time: 3 minutes.
Soprano Range: C4-G5 Alto Range: Aflat3-B4 Tenor Range:D3-G4 Bass Range: G2-Bflat3
