About this arrangement

Medium voice and piano - Early Intermediate SKU: EC.9164 Composed by Gwyneth W. Walker. African American Heritage. E.C. Schirmer Publishing #9164. Published by E.C. Schirmer Publishing (EC.9164). UPC: 600313491641. English.Steal Away interprets the traditional spiritual, "Steal Away to Jesus," as a song of alternating sorrow and strength. The refrains are presented quietly and mournfully. In contrast, the verses are sung with conviction. Of special interest is the use of scale patterns. In the opening refrain, and on every occurrence of the words "steal away," the scales descend, marked as falling tears, or stealing away. At the conclusion of the song, the scales rise, as the soul ascending to heaven. "My Lord calls me, calls me home.".
