Composer Lisa Clayton combines her experience as a gospel artist and school music teacher to create this high-energy original that absolutely rocks! The opening ostinato builds in intensity as more voices join, leading to a contrasting verse, and a step up to a brighter key before the big finish. "Just like in Jericho . . . walls are tumblin' down!"

More about this title

About the Composer: Lisa Clayton

Lisa Clayton brings a dual perspective to choral music as both a gospel artist and school music educator. Her background performing in gospel settings informs her compositional voice, which balances contemporary energy with strong pedagogical clarity.

Why we love this

Clayton's arrangement (by Cherrelle Crews) captures the infectious momentum of gospel music without requiring advanced vocal technique or complex part-writing. The building ostinato, key lift, and energetic arc make this rewarding to teach and genuinely exciting to perform.

What to expect

High-octane and celebratory, with the driving pulse of gospel music anchoring the piece from start to finish. The layering creates a sense of walls literally crumbling as voices accumulate, building to a triumphant finish that students will feel invested in delivering.

Who it's for

Directors working with developing treble and mixed choirs who want contemporary energy without high technical demands. The 2-Part and SSA voicings make this accessible to middle school, young high school, and adult volunteer ensembles.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock the opening ostinato as a rhythmic foundation before layering additional voices; precision here pays dividends when the texture builds.
  • Emphasize the contrast between the driving opening and the verse to give singers a dynamic reset and prevent the piece from feeling monolithic.
  • Shape the key change as a genuine lift in energy and brightness; use this structural moment to refocus the ensemble on the final section.

How to use it

Use this as a festival or concert opener to set an energetic tone, or pair it with other contemporary gospel-influenced pieces to program a thematic set. Its eight-page length and high-engagement factor make it ideal for spring concerts or youth choir showcases.

Skills your students will build

  • Part independence through layered ostinato writing
  • Rhythmic precision and ensemble synchronization
  • Reading and performing contemporary gospel idioms
  • Dynamic contrast between structural sections (opening, verse, key change)
