Hymn to Freedom

Written by Montreal-born jazz pianist Oscar Peterson in 1962, and adopted as an anthem of the 1960's civil rights movement. The lyrics were written by Harriette Hamilton.


Hey You

For some strange reason I can't seem to get the repeat boxes and coda signs to appear on most of the charts, so you'll have to write in those changes by hand...

Here are the instructions.

In the intro (first 8 bars) there should be a repeat box 1 on bar 8 so we jump to box 2 on bar 9 the second time around.

Same thing for the verse (bars 9 to 33) : there should be repeat box 1 over bars 26 to 29 and a jump to box 2 on bar 30 the second time around, before going into the chorus (bars 34-41).



This is a song from the Sacred Harp tradition, meaning that it's a very old folk song from England that was cleaned up and fitted with a religious text. But the tune is fun so I'd like to try it with the band! This arrangement is based on a version prepared by Jason of RMO.

Alternate lyrics, from RMO:

We rise by millions! Workers rise
and fill the streets with freedom sounds!
A glorious radiance fills the skies,
a sudden trembling shakes the ground.
