Elijah Rock - Moses Hogan (High School Maine All-States Choir 2010)
Рет қаралды 883,120
Күн бұрынThe (high school) Maine All-States Choir singing Elijah Rock, during our performance last year. Conducted by Dr. Jonathan Talberg.
There are many different versions of this composition, but I found a small part of the one that we sang. I couldn't find the lyrics to the other compositions without paying for them online. .
"Oh Elijah. Oh Elijah.
Elijah Rock shout shout
Elijah Rock comin' up Lord
Elijah Rock shout shout
Elijah Rock comin' up Lord.
Come on sister help me to pray,
Tell me my Lord done pass dis way.
Elijah rock, shout, shout.
Elijah rock, comin' up Lawdy.
Elijah rock, shout, shout.
Elijah rock, comin' up Lawd.
Satan ain't nothin' but a snake in the grass.
He's a conjur. He's a liar.
Hallelujah Lord.
If I could I surely would,
Stand on the rock where Moses stood.
Elijah Rock shout shout
Elijah Rock comin' up Lord
Elijah Rock shout shout
Elijah Rock comin' up Lord."

Shout out to the altos, the best voice part! Seriously, they were loud and rich. And as an alto, I take pride into that. Overall, amazing performance.

In this song, they really do have the best part. It's super fun to perform this as an alto! Most of the time I find we get stuck with the repetitive, boring (though admittedly important background) parts. For example, Shut De Do. That bored me to tears

I was suppose to sing this for choir in spring, you can guess why it never happened. I loved this piece, being a bass, and it was such a bummer that I'll never get to sing this again.

The feeling we’d get as a choir together was so energizing when we would nail this one. And we would constantly just sing this one for fun in the choir room when we had time to kill listening to this 15 years later makes me tear up. Love this song and it’s such a beautiful spiritual piece. 😊
