Go Down Moses

By Mark Hayes

This is good fun to sing - great rhythm and good for a choir that's sometimes short of men. It's a bit long, but the story and the key changes keep it rolling

we sang this song at the 2005 all state 7th - 8th grade trebble chorus in tampa florida.this song sounds so amazing with 300 or more students.the sound gives you chills.

This song was introduced to my treble choir for our annual contest in the spring by my director Mike Bultman. This song uses a variety of different skills, including being able to use a full, solo sounding head voice. The 3 solos in the piece are challenging, but very coveted...

on our choir. Also included in this piece are scoops and slides, the gradual building up from a very soft voice to a shout section, and interesting jazz rhythms and notes. Overall, this piece is one that works students to their full ability and is fun to work on. The composer also has a good skill for writing a piano part. It gives the song a unique sound that really just gives it that extra something. Right when you hear that introduction, you start tapping your foot and get pulled into the music. I personally like this for its sound, style, and unique way of showing talent. This is in my opinion the best song we've been given so far this year. - Stephanie Moore, Freshman at Lincoln Way Central High School
