Product Description

This arrangement of the traditional spiritual "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" is presented here as a mixed level duet for two pianos, four hands. The PIANO 1 is the easier part (early-intermediate) and the PIANO 2 is slightly more challenging, though still only at the intermediate level. The PIANO 1 carries the melody throughout. When played with a swing rhythm, this spirited, slightly syncopated dual piano duet is an ideal selection for a church setting.

The purchase price includes a 4-page score with combined PIANO 1 and PIANO 2 parts on each page (the grand staff) plus an alternate format with the PIANO 1 and PIANO 2 parts on separate pages (2 pages each). Duration is just under 1-1/2 minutes.

This arrangement is one of the 5 spirituals in the collection "Five Joyful Tunes for Two Pianos."

The lyrics for this song were inspired by the story of Elijah and Elisha in 2 Kings 2 as well as the promise of a future home in heaven for the saints as predicted in Matthew 24:30-31. The prophet Elijah was taken to heaven in a chariot of fire as Elisha, the prophet to take Elijah's place, witnessed the event:

"As they continued on and talked, behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated them, and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven." 2 Kings 2:11 WEB

". . . and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. He will send out his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other." Matthew 24:30-31 WEB

Lyrics:
Swing low, sweet chariot, coming for to carry me home;
Swing low, sweet chariot, coming for to carry me home.

I looked over Jordan and what did I see,
Coming for to carry me home?
A band of angels coming after me,

Coming for to carry me home.
