About the Arranger: Donald Moore

Donald Moore

Donald Moore earned his Bachelor of Music in organ performance and Master of Arts in Teaching from Kent State University. He serves as Organist-Choirmaster at Pilgrim United Church of Christ in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, and has established himself as a prolific composer and arranger across multiple genres and publishers, with over 500 works in print.

Moore's choral compositions and arrangements are heard regularly at state contests, festivals, and music conventions across the country. His work has earned him seventeen ASCAP Composers Standard Awards and recognition from the American Choral Directors Association as one of 400 significant composers in American choral music history. Beyond music, Moore campaigns competitive midget race cars with drivers throughout the United States.

Why we love this

Moore captures the gospel energy of this beloved spiritual without overcomplicating the arrangement, making it genuinely achievable during December crunch. The solo verses give your singers individual spotlight moments while the repeating refrain anchors the ensemble sound and lets you build excitement through repetition rather than complexity.

What to expect

This arrangement channels the unbridled joy of the spiritual tradition with a contemporary gospel sensibility. The piece moves with purpose and clarity, building momentum through its repeating refrain until it feels like a celebration that won't be contained.

Who it's for

Male-voiced choirs and mixed ensembles willing to adapt from the TTB voicing will find this arrangement quick to learn and immediately rewarding to perform. Treble choirs can pick this up fast enough to include it in November rehearsals without derailing other concert prep.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the solo lines so they're heard clearly without drowning out the harmonic support from the rest of the section; transparency matters more than volume in the verse passages.
  • Lean into the gospel-style refrain with rhythmic energy and lift; this is where the piece should feel inevitable and propulsive, not labored.
  • Work the solo sections first in separate rehearsals if you have singers who need confidence building, then layer them into sectional runs once the parts feel secure.
  • Let the piece breathe between the verse and refrain; a slight lift or reset helps the repeated refrain land fresh each time rather than feeling routine.

How to use it

Position this as an energetic closer or second-to-last number to send audiences out with warmth and uplift. It pairs well with other spirituals or carols that lean into vocal storytelling, and its familiar melody makes it accessible to audiences of all ages.
