By Ed Sheeran and Johnny Cash. By Kirstie Smith; Traditional Appalachian Folk & Gospel Song. Arranged by Kirstie Smith. This edition: pdf, streaming. Blues, Country, Folk, Spiritual, Traditional. 5 pages. Kirstie Smith #1038296. Published by Kirstie Smith (A0.1459354).A unique and evocative 2-part choir and piano arrangement of the traditional American folk hymn about a plaintive soul on their journey through life, also sometimes titled "Poor Wayfaring Stranger".
This spiritual song has been lovingly crafted filmscore style, featuring a John Barry influenced piano introduction evoking the landscape of an American wilderness as the Wayfarin' Stranger travels through 'this world below' to a brighter land.
A subsequent upbeat rhythm further paints the picture of a stranger on horseback, gently traversing the Appalachian mountains with hopeful vocal call and echo, rising to a joyous musical peak then slowly fading in projection and speed as the lonesome traveller draws to their allegorical journey's end.
Perfect for beginners and highly recommended for Male Voice Choirs (TB format), also for schools, colleges and community in Higher / Lower voice format.
A powerful and emotive performance by Jos Slovick was featured in the 2019 Sam Mendes film '1917'.
