New voicing! This gospel-style kicker is crafted with tried-and-true techniques of the genre, like rhythmic counterlines, call-and-response singing, and stacked vocal harmonies. An exuberant add-on section shifts momentarily to bluesy minor, and a huge ritard at the end invites singers to bring the power. Raise the roof by performing with the spirited SoundTrax, or add improvised bass and drumset. Premiered at the 2022 Missouri MEA conference under the direction of arranger Robert T. Gibson.

Also known as Keep Your Hand on the Plow, here's a traditional spiritual that is appropriate for concert or contest, stage or sanctuary. Singers will easily grasp the bluesy harmonies that often flip between major and minor, and lock into the steady swing tempo. Consistent rhythmic anticipations create singable syncopation and add energy. A supportive piano accompaniment lays beautifully in the hands as well as providing a reliable groove. You simply cannot go wrong with a setting like this as prepared by top-tier choral conductor and arranger, Victor C. Johnson.
