Hey Norm, I knew Leon personally and he would greatly approve of you and your choir with the fine job that you have done with his music! keep up the good work!
Nice, I am with the St. Augustine Roman Catholic Church Gospel Choir in DC and we had the pleasure of singing this selection with a German choir that came to visit us and sing with us. It was amazing. Also, We at one point were directed by Leon Roberts which in itself was an experience.
This was the arrangement as it appears in the "Mass of St Augustine." I assume that it was also published as a separate piece of music. We extended the ending in gospel fashion (similar to the way the composer himself indicated in "I Thank You Lord," the first piece in the Mass but published separately. The 2 improvisers were high school students. I couldn't do anything about the lack of sync.

That must have been a great experience. My choir certainly enjoyed singing it - with a little adlibbing.

Wow !
This arrangement is not the original. Was it adapted by this choir, or is there an
alternate published arrangement?
Wish the audio synced up better with the video.
