Chords for The Nathaniel Dett Chorale - The Battle of Jericho (intro by Moses Hogan)

[N] I studied [Bb] the arrangements of other [Eb] settings of the [Db] Battle of Jericho, and in this particular
setting I wanted to create a battle, if you will, opposing forces.
And so on [G] one level you have the men singing [Eb] in _ [E] _ _ a very heroic [Gb] way, and then you have [G] the
ladies with the counter melody, [Bb] with the [E] melody that has been handed down in three-part harmony.
But I asked [Bb] for the men _ to strongly accent the T's in the battle, [Gm] Joshua Fyodor, [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ as opposed
to the [G] S-H sounds of the women, Joshua.
And when you get the T's in the opposing forces
you [D] have that [B] conflict of a battle, if you will.
And it's a [Bb] battle that's supposed to
last [D] two minutes and [C] forty seconds, and [Em] it builds [B] with great enthusiasm.
But it's the
text that [Gb] really drives the energy for [Em] this particular piece. _ _
