Excellent Collection
This is a wonderful collection of spirituals. I really like Moses Hogan arrangements. I consider myself a baritone and the music is in perfect range for me. The accompaniment is challenging enough to complement the vocals. I sang the title song in church earlier this month...great experience for me. I do a lot of singing but I didn't want to set the difficulty "too high." I think a person with intermediate skills will enjoy this collection.

Moses at his best
I love the arrangements in this book. Not only are the vocal lines beautiful but the piano accompaniments are well designed too. My favorites are "Give Me Jesus", "Were You There" and "Let Us Break Bread". A former coloratura soprano, I bought this collection looking for arrangements for my new and improved lower register. They didn't disappoint.

Great Arrangements
As a former professional arranger myself, I can really appreciate Moses Hogan's skill. The arrangements are outstanding - modern, but without losing that timeless feel of the spiritual. A book that should be in every singer's library!

A Masterpiece
I love this book. Moses Hogan's arrangements are masterful. This is music which definitely touched my heart. It would be extremely difficult for me to pick out just 1 favorite - Somebody's Knockin' At Your Door; Give Me Jesus; Deep River; Were You There? Never Said A Mumblin' Word; Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child The range needed can be a bit of a stretch- either at the top or the bottom, depending on your range; but this is an excellent st of songs and is among my favorite sets. I just wish Mr. Hogan was still with us crankin' out the tunes.
