Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho
A cappella
Publisher Desc.
The "fear and trembling" interpretation of a well-loved spiritual. This rendition of "Joshua Fit the Battle" features a juxtaposition of jazz blues and a 12/8 march. Singers of Las Voces who performed its premiere describe it as a "cross between jazz and Moses Hogan."
Rhythmic excitement, bluesy riffs, and jazz chords make this a great concert closer or festival piece for college and advanced high school ensembles. Trade-offs in the melody and ostinato passages allow for each voice part to shine.
