Alan has skillfully arranged this African American spiritual so that your choir sounds great when the notes on the page come alive. The animated choral refrain is set in contrast to the soloist‚ verses with the choir singing ooh‚ underneath the melody. With a little work, this will become a choir and congregation favorite. You will probably want to add simple percussion or hand claps as the spirit moves you. Uses: Prayer, Mercy, Resurrection, Eternal Life, OT 6 C.

Brandon Waddle's new setting of a favorite African-American spiritual, “He's Got the Whole World in His Hands,” coupled with the wandering refrain, “Let Us Cheer the Weary Traveler,” takes these traditional melodies and fills them with harmonic interest, a dynamic solo, and luscious piano accompaniment, like only Brandon Waddles can. As a unique feature, there's an optional orchestral accompaniment by Dominic Waddles. If you are looking for a powerful piece to equally feature your choir and soloist for a festival or concert, this is the work for your choirs.
