John W. Work III – from American Negro Songs (Fisk Jubilee Singers Songbook - 1940) (wonderful for short introits or during communion):

• Done made my vow to the Lord
• Go down ‘n the valley and pray
• Lead me to the rock
• Lord, make me more holy
• Rise, Shine, for thy light is a comin’
• Steal away and pray
• Tryin’ to get home
• We are climbing Jacob’s Ladder

A glaring gap in this repertoire list (and one that we are committed to rectify as soon as we are back singing again) is the lack of any compositions by women composers. There is certainly no lack of music to draw from. Here are a few resources related to African-American women composers:

• -  Music by Black Composers (MBC)

• -  Hildegard Publishing
