Let My People Go 4-Part - Sheet Music
“Let My People Go” by Anthony Walker and Emorja Roberson is a bold, contemporary reimagining of the familiar spiritual, driven by a smooth gospel bounce and infectious rhythmic energy. While retaining the iconic title and refrain, this setting introduces entirely new melodic material and vivid text that confronts the brutality and futility of forced labor. Syncopated fragments of “Go Tell It on the Mountain” emerge in the middle section, leading to a powerful final buildup as countermelodies stack and the full choir cries, “Let 'em go! Go tell it!” Fun to learn and deeply meaningful, this work is an excellent choice for concerts, Black History Month, MLK celebrations, and unity events.
