My Good Lord's a-Done-a Been Here

Good news for male choruses this setting by Stacey Gibbs never expands to divisi voices as he so often does. OK there are a few chords near the end but that's it. That means this joyful Spiritual can work with about any size choir in church or in concert. Great for high school college and community choirs. Easy.

230 folk songs and spirituals, religious and secular, arranged for piano and voice. From joyous gospel to deeply felt blues, this wonderful collection contains vintage songs sung and played through the years by black Americans - at work, in church and for pure entertainment. Included are spirituals, blues, work songs and a variety of social and dance songs. This is an indispensable treasury of music for singers, musicians and all readers seeking a comprehensive sourcebook of black American folk music. It will be equally welcomed at parties, family get-togethers, sing-alongs, church events and other gatherings where people want to play and sing these classic folk songs thatare an integral part of American musical history./ Recueil / Chant et Piano
