Composed by African-American Spiritual, Wallace Willis. Arranged by Brandon Haynes. Concert,Sacred,Spiritual. Score and parts. 10 pages. Brandon Haynes #4602675. Published by Brandon Haynes (A0.905709)."Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" is a spiritual associated with Choctaw freedman slave, Wallace Willis in the old Indian Territory in what is now Choctaw County, near the County seat of Hugo, Oklahoma sometime after 1865. It is believed that the sight of the Red River, by which the slave was laboring, reminded him of the Jordan River and of the prophet Elijah being taken to heaven by a chariot, a biblical reference found in 2 Kings 2:11. This arrangement is written for Medium Voice, piano accompaniment, and cello obbligato. It incorporates remnants of another spiritual, "Over My Head" the mixes well with the text of "Swing Low". This arrangement also incorporates a new melody to create a bridge-like section for "If you get there before I do".

"Swing Low Sweet Chariot (Over My Head)"
Brandon Haynes has a divine gift for expressing the human soul in an honest, open way in his arrangements. He humbly recognizes the inherent significance and power in existing melodies and texts. His arrangements always transcend the here and now. He has been blessed with tapping into the ancient root while peeking into the heavenly realm. "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" is one of his amazing arrangements where he weaves echos of other sentiments ("Over My Head" I hear music in the air) to express the soul - as one. He never binds the soul - he expresses it. Another MUST HAVE.

One of the most beautiful arrangements I've ever had the honor of hearing and singing.
I had the honor of singing this beautiful arrangements for a few different occasions, and it became my favorite piece to perform. The melody is incredible, and the words have unbelievable depth and meaning. The song has an indescribable flow and feel to it, and it's genuinely breathtaking. My mom informed me that I have to sing this song at every funeral I attend for family, and how it's one of the only songs that have made her cry. You don't just HEAR this song, but you feel it. The push and pulls of the song musically is enough to make you wish the song never ends. This song is truly one of a kind, and I'm beyond blessed that I got to perform with this piece.
