CGA217 I'm Going to Sing
Description
This 'spirited' spiritual was arranged by Dr. Anderson for a choir dedication service in which all choirs, primary through adult, formed a mass choir. The simplicity of the tune and the repetitiveness of the text makes the work easily learnable for children. The children may sing the tune throughout while the SATB sections for youth and/or adults provide contrast. The work also may be performed with different choirs singing the various stanzas, or performed by one choir with solos or small groups taking various sections. This piece must be sung with joy and verve! Ronald Anderson is Director of Choral Activities at Stephen F. Austin University in Nacagdoches, Texas, and is also Minister of Music at the First United Methodist Church in Nacagdoches.
Voicing: Unison/SATB spiritual with keyboard accompaniment
