Keep Your Lamps Trimmed And Burning

This beautiful African American Spiritual is great for:

  • A choir piece - beautiful in unison, singing range is a 10th.
  • Preparing and practising the melodic element 'si'.
  • Teaching the rhythmic element 'tim-ka' (with the last line of the song).
  • Working with the rhythmic element 'ties'.
