Product Description
Were You There When They Crucified my Lord? Is a beautiful acapella arrangement perfect for small ensembles. The inspiration for this arrangement was from Deborah singing Were You There? Acapella in front of the Garden Tomb in Israel. This arrangement is for vocal solo/unison duet plus SATB chorus, acapella.
Were You There? is a beautiful arrangement of a timeless traditional spiritual with rich harmonies. The chorus part can be performed with full choir or single voices. At the very end, it splits into six to eight parts, but can be modified for smaller groups. The chorus contains many "oohs" and "ahs" until the third verse. This arrangement contains four verses and the additional verses are noted on the lyric sheet.
