Written for the Houston Children’s Chorus, this is a fun piece with a funky New Orleans jazz feel. The anthem contains an original melody and lyric (by the late J. Paul Williams) but also includes the traditional spiritual “Roll, Jordan, Roll,” as well as a short quote of “Wade in the Water”. Although this anthem is a lot of fun to sing, it also provides a great opportunity to teach children the history of spirituals and the Underground Railroad, and how they were used to inform slaves of escape routes and timing.
