Description
Students confidently tell their story as though from the mountaintops in this African American Spiritual. With straightforward rhythms and pitches, the right arm and bow hand can be the focus to achieve a convincing "proclamation" tone, as well as a lush but gentle sound in the subdued moments. A wonderful change of pace that is still at a moderate tempo.

About the Arranger: Carrie Lane Gruselle

Carrie Lane Gruselle

Carrie Lane Gruselle earned her Bachelor of Music Education from the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire, followed by a Master of Music Education from the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point with an emphasis in Suzuki pedagogy. She has taught elementary and middle school strings for the Appleton Area School District while also serving as cello instructor for the Lawrence University Arts Academy in Appleton, Wisconsin.

Why we love this

Gruselle's arrangement honors the spiritual's proclamatory character while keeping technical demands minimal, so your students can concentrate entirely on tone production and expressive delivery. The writing balances moments of confident declaration with genuinely tender passages, giving young musicians real interpretive work to do without complexity getting in the way.

What to expect

You feel the weight and hope of the spiritual's message delivered with quiet conviction, then warmth and tenderness as the voices soften. There's a proclamatory confidence built on simple, honest musical gestures that let younger players focus on sound quality rather than technical survival.

Who it's for

Grade 1.5 string orchestras ready to expand beyond technical exercises into genuine repertoire. This works for groups with mixed experience levels because the straightforward rhythms and pitches keep notation from overwhelming anyone while still offering artistic substance.

How to get the most out of it

  • Shape the opening proclamations with deliberate bow strokes that feel weightier and more grounded; think 'announcement from the mountaintop' rather than delicate phrasing.
  • In the subdued sections, reduce bow pressure and lighten the articulation to create that gentle warmth without losing the spiritual's underlying dignity.
  • Keep the tempo steady and moderate throughout; resist the urge to slow down during tender moments, which can dilute the piece's forward momentum and confidence.
  • Balance the string sections so no single voice dominates, especially in the lyrical passages where transparency lets the arrangement's harmonic movement breathe.

How to use it

Program this during winter concert season as a meaningful pivot away from holiday pops arrangements, or use it in spring programming to celebrate African American music traditions. Its moderate length and straightforward demands make it an ideal opening piece that sets a reflective tone without demanding excessive rehearsal time.

Skills your students will build

  • Tone production and bow control across a range of dynamics
  • Expressive interpretation within simple harmonic structures
  • Maintaining steady tempo while shaping musical phrases
  • Balancing multiple string voices with independent rhythmic lines
