Order number ECC17.1503.01
Grace before sleep
Author(s): Sara Teasdale (1884-1933), adapted by Susan LaBarr Arrangement: Susan LaBarr
The power of spirituals is that they can translate joy into music like no other and vice versa. This is also the case with Promised is Promised. An original spiritual by Larry Shackley, eminently suitable for the Advent season. However, this song does not emphasize the waiting of the Advent season, but rather the joyful outcome. The world has waited so long; there will be an explosion of joy when the Messiah comes! Strikingly enough, the song is originally performed in the most sober setting possible: a cappella. This is regularly spiced up with light percussion to emphasize the festive nature of the message.
