Review:
"By and by, by and by, I'm going to lay down my heavy load!" So goes the text to the tune of this African-American spiritual. Syncopation abounds, but is repetitive and easily learned. Chordal musical structure for the majority of the work with varying dynamics for contrast. A final shake in measure 41 ends the 42 measure piece.
