#438: My Lord, What a Morning

How's the alto part?

Fairly easy actually. Some of it is just all unison, and then a lot of the separate part is holding the main "dominant" note F.

Is this how it was originally sung?

It's originally a spiritual so I suspect the four-part harmony just came along later.

Is this what you would then call "boring"?

In other circumstances I might, but I have a soft spot for this one because it was one of the first hymns I remember the youth (high school) choir actually singing parts on, so I appreciated something that was not too hard.

What are the nations underground?

Hell? Earth as opposed to heaven? Some political thriller type stuff? IDK.
