Arranger Tammy Waldrop spices up the old spiritual "Go Down Moses" with the combination of speech and music in dialog. The bell ringers plead musically and vocally with Pharaoh to "let my people go." Level I and up choirs should have fun and a challenge in this unique setting. Other contrasts dynamically and in texture are found as well.
