Product Description
School choir directors, are you wondering how to celebrate American culture in song? Are you looking to reinforcing the ensemble's classical singing skills for contents and concerts?
Church music leaders, are you looking for a unique way to share the faith, a change in style to draw attention to the Gospel in song? Are you looking for simple harmonies that your choir can learn more quickly than a complex arrangement?
This moving neoclassical restyling of a beloved American Spiritual solves all of these problems.
This song came from the hearts of African Americans who had been treated with extreme cruelty, but would one day emerge triumphant. In context, "Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?" shows their belief in the God who had empathized with their suffering by taking a cross, and who had conquered even death by rising victoriously from the grave.
Although its great for any time of year, "Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?" is especially appropriate for the Easter season.
Duration: Approximately 3:15
Uses: Church, school, etc.
