Product Description

Both Michael Row the Boat Ashore and There is a Balm in Gilead are Afro-American Spirituals. Charles Pickard Ware wrote down Michael Row the Boat Ashore after listening to slaves sing it as they worked on the plantations or rowed across water. The words ask Archangel Michael for help. There is a Balm in Gilead comes from both the Old and New Testaments.

Unitarian Minister, George Willis Cooke wrote a song in the later 1800s that has become a campfire mainstay. I chose to list it as Down in My Heart. Its also known as Ive Got the Joy, Ive Got that Joy, Joy, Joy and Joy, Joy, Joy.

This arrangement is playable on either Lever or Pedal harps. Dynamics are clearly marked. 

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
