This African American spiritual is a song of celebration, anticipation, freedom and hope. With references to the “new Jerusalem” as described by John the Revelator in the New Testament, African American slaves could look forward to a heavenly land where they would no longer be bound by the bonds of servitude. Rhythmic and energized vocal lines are layered over the pulsing accompaniment for an excellent choral showcase.
