- A City Called Heaven - Negro Spiritual / arr. Josephine Poelinitz. Performed by 'sounding light' on October 1st, 2021. Soloist Glen Thomas Rideout (bass).
This soloist needs to be on Broadway. He is magnificent. ❤❤❤❤
wow. what a soloist. deep voice with that slow voice control. very impressive
My hope is that they know the and history of this negro spiritual. It’s not just a song to sing because it sounds good or gives chills.
What’s the story?

The people who would sing this spiritual were enslaved, and they quite literally could only hope for death. After death would come heaven, which is everlasting peace with God
With Tom Trenney as the Minister of Music (at the piano in this video), you can bet your bottom dollar that the singers understand and respect the history of this body of music, variously called Negro Spirituals, Jubilee Songs, Sorrow Songs, and, more modernly, African American Spirituals.
The deep richness of the soloist voice draws you in. I felt the story of the song being told and he shook me.
As a trained musician congregant, I would SO appreciate it if your team could put up the words the choir is singing so we could all enjoy the lyrics also.
When Mr. Rideout started singing I got goosebumps. This is so beautiful 😍❤️😍❤️👏👏👏👏........update I had a liver transplant 6 months ago and I listened to this song on repeat while I was in the hospital for 25 days🙏🙏🙏the peace and calm it brought me was appreciated immensely...Mr. Ride out your voice brought me solace during a difficult time❤thank you very much😢😢❤❤❤
Just heard this hours ago at my daughters regional chorus concert held at a historical Theater . It was moving and beautiful…. So I’m here now
1 am a pilgrim, a pilgrim of sorrow
I'm left in this wide world, this wide world alone
Ain't got no hope, got no hope for tomorrow I'm trying to make it, make heaven my home
Sometimes I just don't know, which way to turn
I heard of a city, of a city called heaven I'm trying to make it, make heaven my home
Sometimes I just don't know, which way to turn
I heard of a city, of a city called heaven
I'm trying to make it, make heaven my home
Great soloist.

It's always fun to see the general race distribution of the choir when they mention this song being a black spiritual
