As counterpoint to his setting of Swing Low, Sweet Chariot, Rouse adopts almost bluesy brush strokes to paint this soaring adaptation. As if picturing a Southern town of the past, the music creates a range of emotions, from the sad and sorrowful to the grand and great. A tour de force of orchestration and structure, of the expected and the unexpected, the work of a great arranger.
