Review:
This is a fun medley combining two traditional spirituals: “Ain’t-a-That Good News” and “I Got Shoes.” The optional percussion (finger snaps, claves, mallet handle clicks, etc.) is included in handbell part. The character setting is described as "lively with a light swing", and the piece moves along at a good clip. It is 60 measures long and is scored in G Major.
