Child of God is a traditional Black gospel hymn that doubles well as a song for Christmas worship services. The song captures the essence of enduring faith through hardship in its title verse, and was used as a song for slaves to communicate on the underground railroad as they escaped to freedom; undoubtedly, the song today is a testimony to spiritual freedom through faith. Our version is a simple, easy going swing, which is great for Jazz and Gospel services, and the arrangement sings through five times, with the fifth verse being a powerful restatement of “tell them I’m a child of God.”
Eb G C
Chorus piece from Handel's "Messiah" following the original score, and recorded to sound similar to the London Symphony Orchestra's performance. Perfect for SATB choir.

A very brief accompanied recitative from Handel's Messiah for tenor (or soprano). Only 30 seconds long, movement 31 forms a bridge between two short tenor arias, "Behold, and See if There Be Any Sorrow" and "But Thou Didst Not Leave His Soul in Hell", so a recital soloist might perform all three as a set. Very slow and rubato, with tempos following the London Philharmonic recording with Walter Susskind conducting.
E
A common hymn during Lent about dedication to the cross. This relaxed acoustic arrangement includes piano, guitar, bass, and drums. Perfect for Ash Wednesday.
