Ysaye Barnwell is a member of Sweet Honey in the Rock and the unique stylings and vocal techniques of that famed ensemble are evident in this piece. “Wade in the Watah” borrows from another spiritual “Done MadeMy Vow ” and references the great Harriet Tubman as freedom's guide. The incredible train effects are amazing. The broad range of this piece which occasionally divides into six-part treble covers the full spectrum from lowD to high B! A most impressive entry for contest festival or worship. “Wade in the Watah” will leave listeners in awe!
