This well-known spiritual has been made to sound very lively.
Containing lots of syncopated rhythms, it sounds effective with either a small group of players (as long as you have a minimum of a melody instrument and bass), a wind band (the string parts may be left out if you have a wind band) or a full orchestra.
Parts are approx. grade 2 - 5, and are carefully graded (eg violin 3 features first position notes).
Your drummer can play the written part or improvise one of his/her own.
