Alfred Publishing Hold On - Traditional Spiritual/Johnson - SATB

Music: Traditional Spiritual
Arranger: Victor C. Johnson

Voicing: SATB with piano accompaniment (PianoTrax accompaniment CD available separately)

Also known as "Keep Your Hand on the Plow", here's a traditional spiritual that is appropriate for concert or contest, stage or sanctuary. Singers will easily grasp the bluesy harmonies that often flip between major and minor, and lock into the steady swing tempo. Consistent rhythmic anticipations create singable syncopation and add energy. A supportive piano accompaniment lays beautifully in the hands as well as providing a reliable groove. You simply cannot go wrong with a setting like this as prepared by top-tier choral conductor and arranger, Victor C. Johnson.
