Oo Oo Oh G D6/ Em Gmaj7/D Am7 C6 D sus4 D7 Performances Notes The refrain fills me with overwhelming desire share Good News with great joy. In singing indicated jazz style, loosen jaw allow your canr/soloist increasing freedom on verses. The choir should sing al, tenor bass accompaniment on Go tell it! with a crisp tight closing on final t. Also, word that gets special treatment with a hard, closed-off, final t separating it from next word, Jesus (thus, house-p accent). When using optional brass, strings, solo instrument bass, try layering: start with just piano (or piano/canr) playing refrain as introduction, n repeating refrain with unison choir bass. Verse 1 could have just canr/piano/bass solo instrument. or refrain, add choir in harmony. Verse 2 can add choral Oo s. Add strings later, brass, ending up with a full, gr sound for refrain after key change verse 4. (Parts for brass strings are available in manuscript from publisher, edition 70125.) Be creative! The Psalm 96 (Christmas Midnight) setting of Today is Born Our Savior (OCP Publications, edition 11122) is set as a companion piece. The textual motive of tell it! is used unite two works. The style is meant convey same sense of great joy an overwhelming desire share Good News. Go, tell it in song, word deed! J.H.
