About this arrangement

Choral TTB choir, piano SKU: CF.CM9712 A Gospel Setting. Composed by Greg Gilpin. 12 pages. Duration 2 minutes, 28 seconds. Carl Fischer Music #CM9712. Published by Carl Fischer Music (CF.CM9712). ISBN 9781491160077. UPC: 680160918676. Key: F major. English. Adapted from Quaker song.The following notes were written by Brian Busch for the original three-part mixed setting of this arrangement. They are equally meaningful for this new TBB voicing by Greg Gilpin. The contemporary gospel style is a highly charged, emotional music. It is not recommended that you stand still while performing this work. Clapping and swaying along with well-placed scoops are definitely appropriate. The soloist is allowed some extemporaneous latitude. It's important that you have a good time with the music. However, remember the message and let that also determine your demeanor on stage and in the rehearsal room. I feel relatively certain that the Shakers would approve this setting.The following notes were written by Brian Busch for the original three-part mixed setting of this arrangement.
