I listened to this recording when I was about 18 years old. My friend Mike Horn who owner the record told me it had been broken during some move years later. I never thought I'd hear this arrangement again. What a fine performance.
For sheet music look for "The Hall Johnson Collection Over 50 Classic Favorites for Voice and Piano" or "30 Spirituals (for High or Low Voice and Piano). Arranged by Hall Johnson." This may be in one of these.
Was in the Barbara Stanwyck film "Banjo On My Knee" with out the great sacred harp style intro. What a great man Hall Johnson was. A visionary. Took the black spiritual to epic proportions. This is an unbelievable recording. Downloaded and converted to my favorite playlist. Thanks for posting. What a find!
I wish I had a copy! I've been looking all over for one! The last time I performed this was in the 1970's! It was the most fantastic arrangement! Sorry I couldn't help you!
When I was in college we sang this rendition of St. Louis Blues. It was always very special to me. It was my first solo with the choir!! I wish this was still in print.
@Lynduh47 I have a copy of this arrangement... but I'm missing one page... would like a copy... if you don't have one? However if you have a complete copy of this arrangement can I get one from you?
