The struggle and suffering described in spirituals go hand in hand with an overwhelming sense of hope for a better life. Deep River is one of the most popular spirituals; its long-phrase melody calls for sustained breath control and a real sense of shape. Much contrast can be made between the first and second sections of the melody, and enjoy the more adventurous harmony around the words ‘where all is peace’ (both times!). The idiomatic ‘rippling’ piano part should be played very legato, but with a steady, clear tempo. This piece is part of the Faber Choral Singles series, offering a selection of beautifully crafted arrangements in a diversity of musical styles. From Broadway, pop and folk to spirituals, gospel and original works, the series is arranged for 3-part choir (soprano, alto and a combined male-voice part) providing flexibility for any choir.

Par KANDER JOHN / BEALE CHARLES (Arr.). Chicago! is perhaps the greatest and bestloved creation of writing team John Kander and Fred Ebb. In We both reached for the gun, Roxie is accused of killing her violent lover and Flynn’s argument is that they both ‘reached for the gun’ at the same time – Roxie had no choice but to kill him, or she would have died. In the staging, Roxie is portrayed as Billy’s mechanical puppet, which is why the music has a certain mechanical, even clockwork quality to it. This is a patter song, full of long streams of words, so take care not to go too fast.

Par FORBES L'ESTRANGE JOANNA (Arr.). Wade in the Water is a lively and infectious spiritual. Its features include a call-and-response texture, jazz ‘scat’ vocalization and finger clicks on beats 2 and 4 of the measure. This arrangement by Joanna Forbes L’Estrange remains true to the spirit of Eva Cassidy’s well-loved version, adapting the instrumental improvisation on the recording to create a fun scat section.  Listen to Eva Cassidy’s version and aim for the same passion and commitment, allowing the voices as much freedom of expression as is possible in a choral texture.

This joyful Christmas carol from 15th century France may be sung in either the original French or in English. If a children's choir is used, it can sing the soprano part throughout. The words 'nouvelet? and 'noel? both come from the French root word meaning 'news? or 'newness? and this arrangement by Wayland Rogers is just that, fresh and new. / Voix (SATB), Flûte Et Piano
