God The Spirit Comes To Stay
 

 God The Spirit Comes To Stay 
Composer: Tune: McAloon  Arranger: Norman Morris  Author/Lyricist: John 14 

Voicing: SATB 
Season: Pentecost  Released: April 1996  Difficulty: Medium Easy
   The melody is called McAloon but no one seems to know where it came from. But it is delightful and flows along in a lilting 9/8 meter. The text used is from john 14, “If you love me keep my commandments,” but they have been paraphrased in modern day language. Altogether it makes for a very pleasing anthem.

Open The Window Mister Noahy
 

 Open The Window Mister Noahy 
Composer: African American Spiritual  Arranger: Norman Morris  Author/Lyricist: African American Spiritual 

Voicing: SATB  Released: April 1996  Difficulty: Medium
   The English are great fans of Spirituals and they have unapologetically offered their renditions for many years. They may not capture the authenticity of the piece but they are clever folks and do provide us with renderings that are a pleasure to sing and hear. The title alone lets us know we are in for a treat. An excellent closing or encore number.

 Somebody's Knocking At Your Door

   It is fairly well known that the British love American Negro Spirituals. English Conductor Norman Morris has successfully arranged many such spirituals for choir, and this setting displays his latest release. The tasteful addition of an occasional woodblock and an animated piano part complement the ''knockin''' choral ostinato (a technique for which Mr. Morris is already famous). Great fun to hear or perform, excellent for church or school, this arrangement brings a new spark to a great classic.

 Walk In The Light 
Composer: English Hymn Tune  Arranger: Norman Morris  Author/Lyricist: Anonymous 

Voicing: SATB, Divisi 
Season: Pentecost  Released: April 1995  Difficulty: Medium
   This piece is simply too much fun. The “walking” is musically realized in an almost humorous fashion. The English hymn tune has no known source, but it has survived because of its buoyancy and because it has captured our spirits for years. Ready for some imaginative fun during a worship service? Then walk this piece in now.

Voicing: SSAATB  Released: April 1998  Difficulty: Medium

   This selection is an absolute blast - it starts off running and never lets up. Although for 8 parts, they are mainly easy ostinato patterns that scamper through the piece. Excellent for festivals, concert and church use. After racing and running to a furious conclusion the final word is ''phew!''
