Concert Choir 2007 & Alumni Sings Lift Every Voice & Sing

[UrtemptingAddiction]

I remember this!! ~*MEMORIES*~

[lowcountry85]

This is not a gospel . This is the choral arrangment. Every black college who can really sing . We( Alabama A&M ) did it with a full organ and the last verse acalella and slow. Black music is more than gospel

[gitasong]

Marty!!!

[deadgoddess01]

Wow, they just took all the gospel out of that song. Not bad (actually an amazing choir for a youth program) but definitely different.

[sureboy76]

I wish that the entire song was on here. Marvelous job! Brings back so many memories

[mvsu96]

GREAT!!! I luv it

[theverythoughtofu]

Who's the composer of this song? I love it!

[PIANO75]

James Weldon Johnson wrote the words and his brother, John Rosamond Johnson, set it to music in about 1900.

[HUComposer]

More specifically, this arrangement is by Roland M. Carter. He dedicated it to the Hampton Institute (now University) Choirs of which he was the conductor.

[Hyphenated08]

Thanks for the correction and the interesting tidbit. I did not know that Carter dedicated this arrangement to the Hampton Choirs.

I've ALWAYS loved what he did to this piece.
