A dramatic rubato solo paves the way for the basses to lay down their walking line under the minor-key theme of this familiar spiritual, initially sung by the women. And when the tenors add their rhythmic interjections, the piece really takes form. This new arrangement is handled with time-tested traditional a cappella sensibilities, and its chromatic modulations, dynamic inflections, and SSA final descant are right on the mark.
