Here is a piece that is truly a one-rehearsal wonder. Earlene Rentz takes a time-honored spiritual and delivers a usable and attractive adaptation that is perfect anytime, but especially useful for slim Sundays. An optional bass part makes this lively arrangement accessible to younger choirs as well as adults. Standing in the Need of Prayer, with its light swing-gospel feel, is an upbeat service opener or call to prayer. Delightful!
