Description:

The evocative, haunting character of this traditional American song about this life's transition to the next life is subtly enhamced by John Karl Hirten's arrangement. An organ accompaniment heightens the mood without infringing upon it, while framing extended
a cappella choral sections. The opening bass solo could be sung effectively by a few men together.
