Choral Choir (TTBB) - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.928995 Composed by Composer Unknown: Traditional Negro Spiritual. Arranged by Donald A. Mills. A Cappella,Concert,Folk,Gospel,Spiritual,Traditional. Octavo. 5 pages. Donald A Mills #5355171. Published by Donald A Mills (A0.928995). This old traditional Negro Spiritual is part of a group of songs called map songs, that were used to guide the slaves wanting freedom how and when to leave for the north. In this case, the song's directions were to get into the water of the stream or river to travel so that their scents could not be followed by the slave-owners bloodhounds.  This arrangement is for a bass solo and a men's quartet or a men's chorus. The arrangement needs a level of experience and expertise at the intermediate to high level. It is a cappella, sung as the slaves would have sung it, with no instruments.  Your singing group and audiences will surely love the beautiful words and harmonies.
