Elijah Rock: Mixed Choir a Cappella: Vocal Score

Youth choirs and adults alike with love this energetic 'swing style' setting of the popular traditional spiritual Elijah Rock by Dave and Jean Perry. Lots of unison singing and call-and-response make this easy to teach while colorful blues harmonies scat singing and finger snaps add to the fun! Also included are musical references to 'Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho' and 'Rock-A My Soul.' The easy brass and rhythm parts are a great addition.Suitable for worship throughout the year especially Lent Reformation and Transfiguration also great for school concerts. Available in 2 voicings.

Building on the heritage of the great arrangements of Hairston and Hogan Rollo Dilworth creates his own unique approach in this setting for treble voices. Through layering of motivic material and percussive effects in the lyrics elements of jazz blues and gospel music combine to great success in portraying Elijah's dramatic ascension into heaven.

Arranged for 2-Part choir by Roger Emerson this driving spiritual is placed in a well-crafted setting for younger choirs. An excellent choice for beginning ensembles. Also available for 3-Part Mixed choir. Performance Time: Approx. 2:30.
