I love spirituals too, especially when sung with so much joy and ebullience (in addition to musical excellence). 🙂

I’m happy that you enjoyed it. My husband and I were at a choir concert recently where this song was the last thing on the program, and it brought the house down — people springing to their feet, whooping and clapping and whistling and cheering… and leaving the auditorium feeling as if they’d just been part of something wonderful.
