Go Tell It on the Mountain (Stewart)

Description

The opening 12/8 “bluesy” treatment of the chorus is followed by a contrasting straight 4/4 presentation of the verse. Modulating from C major to G major, a contemplative presentation of the verse on handchimes leads to the return of the upbeat chorus. 70 measures in length, it is an interesting and creative arrangement of the well-known spiritual, appropriate for church or concert venue.
