Product Description

Combining Swing Low, Sweet Chariot and When the Saints Go Marching In, this jazz anthem celebrating the music of New Orleans, is sure to be a favorite! The piece opens with a somber bluesy Soprano solo of Swing Low, Sweet Chariot which progresses into a call and response conversation between the soloist and the choir. At the half way point, the tone of the piece changes to a joyous jazz celebration as the choir takes the lead singing When the Saints Go Marching In. To close, the soloist and choir combine singing these partner songs together with a rousing conclusion. The arrangement requires piano accompaniment and a small jazz ensemble of Clarinet, Trumpet, Trombone, Tuba and Drums.
