Alfred Publishing My Lord, What a Morning - Traditional Spiritual/Johnson - 2pt

Music: Traditional Spiritual
Arranger: Victor C. Johnson
Format: Choral Octavo
Voicing: 2pt with piano accompaniment (PianoTrax accompaniment CD available separately)

Here's a beloved American spiritual, sensitively prepared for school and church singers by Victor C. Johnson. The familiar strophic melody is fully arranged with progressively richer sonorities throughout. Expressive tempo markings stretch the final moment of every phrase and suggest more motion for the "hear the trumpet sound" verse. A lovely piano accompaniment does not double, but rather decorates the satisfying choral parts. A gentle gem that grows to an impressive height before a quiet conclusion.
