Description

Tenor, Bass, Keyboard — The Shepherd’s Spiritual is a fun and energetic choral work that has become a favorite of choirs around the world. The heart and soul of the piece is the driving piano accompaniment, which should be played with an upbeat tempo and very little pedal. Singers should follow the piano lead with gusto and enthusiasm. Be sure to allow plenty of dynamic contrast, which will add to the enjoyment of the piece.Have fun with this one! Donald Moore's up-tempo piece, based on an American Spiritual, is sure to light up any holiday concert. Featuring call-and-response vocalization between soloist and ensemble, it requires lots of energy and is sure to sparkle! This oldie-but-goodie, in its original voicing, dates back to the fourth BriLee catalog. Also available for Three-Part Mixed Chorus (BL1230), SSA Voices (BL909), and SA Voices (BL1159).
