Spiritual Medley 靈歌組合曲

這首《靈歌混合曲》由三首歌曲組成，講述了一段經歷考驗最終獲得救贖和自由的旅程。它的節奏和能量應從略帶反思的開頭逐漸加強，但始終保持活潑的感覺。All My Trials》是上世紀五六十年代流行的一首抗議歌曲，曾被瓊-貝茲、保羅-麥卡特尼和貓王等人錄製。By and By》是一首更加歡快的歌曲，帶有大量切分節奏和更加直率的動態，在演唱和演奏時應充滿活力。這首曲子是真正的 "朝聖之旅"，充滿了磨難和心碎，但從未放棄希望和最終的解脫。在這最後一段，節奏應真正加快，在低音線和更多爵士和聲的激勵下，在最後幾個小節達到高潮"

原文簡介:
This Spiritual Medley comprises three songs that speak of a journey through trial to eventual salvation and liberty. It should gradually gather pace and energy from a slightly more reflective start, though retaining a lively feel throughout. All My Trials developed into a popular protest song in the 1950s and 60s and has been recorded by, amongst others, Joan Baez, Paul McCartney and Elvis Presley. By and By is a more upbeat song with plenty of syncopated rhythms and more forthright dynamics – it should be sung and played with lots of energy. The medley ends with I Want Jesus to Walk With Me, a true ‘pilgrim journey’ full of trials and breaking hearts, but never giving up on hope and final deliverance. The tempo should really pick up for this final section, galvanised by the walking bass line and more jazzy harmonies, and reaching its climax in the final few measures. This piece is part of the Faber Choral Singles series, offering a selection of beautifully crafted arrangements in a diversity of musical styles. From Broadway, pop and folk to spirituals, gospel and original works, the series is arranged for 3-part choir (soprano, alto and a combined male-voice part) providing flexibility for any choir. Complete with straight-forward piano accompaniments supporting the vocal lines, the Faber Choral Singles series guarantees the perfect repertoire for every occasion – so get exploring and get singing!
