Angels Watching Over Me

This is an SATB arrangement I wrote for an old traditional spiritual. My mother used to sing it before bed to my brothers and I when we were young. I transcribed the melody as I remembered it and wrote the four-part.

The recording is from our new album, Sleep Easy. It features my wife, Bonnie on Soprano and our good friends Sara Masterson Smith and Steve Smith on Alto, and bass respectively. Another good friend, Steve Williamson—the Worship Arts Pastor and my supervisor at church—sings tenor. We recorded it with all four vocalist together singing into a Blumlein Pair mic setup and performing the whole track in a single take. I think you can hear the intimacy and natural give and take of everyone singing together and blending live.
