Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho, arr. Moses Hogan
Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho, arr. Moses Hogan. Sadie O'Conor '22, soloist. Allegra Martin, conductor, Chamber Singers. Brooks Concert Hall, College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, MA, April 8, 2022.
Program note:
American composer Moses Hogan is best known for his beloved arrangements of Negro spirituals, and “Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho,” about the famous battle from the Book of Joshua, is one of his most popular. In an interview about this piece (on UA-cam!) Hogan mentions contrasting the lower voices with the upper voices, and using the repeated “t” sounds in the word “battle” to create a sense of action and conflict.

    If the temple is not a place for money changers then the sanctuary is probably not a place for entertainers…. It’s almost like choirs were given choir lofts for some reason.
