A new arrangement of a traditional spiritual. The character of this version is shaped by the lyrics, “I’m gonna shout and sing, until the heavens ring...” For this is a song of celebration. The Gospel Ship (i.e. a vessel of music) transports the singers above earthly troubles, on up to heaven.
Music has the power to overcome daily challenges. The burden is lightened, and the weary road is shortened. Thus, the climax of this work comes with the lyrics, “your journey won’t be long if you live a life of song.” Indeed, with voices joined together, we shall go “sailing through the air!” Duration: 4:00
Choral score and children's chorus part included.
