Go Tell It!: Choral Octavo SoundTrax CD

Weston's arrangement captures what makes spirituals endure: infectious joy paired with profound faith. The pairing of two spirituals in a single octavo gives you maximum impact with minimal rehearsal overhead, making this ideal for programs where you need strong, immediate vocal payoff.

Radiant and celebratory, with the warmth of spiritual tradition meeting contemporary accessibility. The music invites unguarded vocal joy and communal participation without sacrificing musical authenticity.

Any choir seeking spirituals with immediate appeal and strong singability, from youth choirs and praise teams to adult community and church choirs. The straightforward harmonic language and infectious melodies work equally well for singers with limited formal training and experienced ensemble members.

• Let the recorded accompaniment establish the groove early in rehearsals so singers can anchor their parts to the harmonic movement and focus energy on blend and projection rather than finding pitches.
• Shape phrases with dynamic peaks that mirror the text's emotional arc; resist the urge to sustain high notes at full volume when a slight taper creates better musical storytelling.
• Balance enthusiasm with clarity. The exuberance can obscure text; mark consonants precisely and keep vowels pure so the message lands alongside the celebratory spirit.

Perfect for holiday services, spring concerts celebrating faith and community, or any program where you want a moment of unbridled vocal celebration. The two-spiritual pairing works well as a closing set or as a program highlight that engages the entire choir regardless of section strength.

• Singing spirituals with authentic style and cultural respect
• Blending warm, resonant vowels across a choir section
• Communicating text with conviction and projection
• Responding to recorded accompaniment cues and harmonic changes
