A Spiritual

Yesterday, when I was at the supermarket, a short piece of text and a melody popped into my mind. When I cam home, I wrote down a sketch of it, then I lay down for a short (actually not so short) nap ...

Later in the afternoon, I extended the idea to a complete piece: For a soloist and maybe a descant voice (male/female, preferably), choir, and a piano for accompagniment, but also some solo parts. Here is the score, a link to a demo MP3, and a link to a Noteworthy-Composer file ( click on the score opens a complete PDF file):

Maybe I can convince our choir to sing it ...
