About Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel

Words: traditional spiritual, as sung by the Fisk Jubilee Singers (published 1872)

Tune: traditional spiritual, as sung by the Fisk Jubilee Singers (published 1872)

Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel is a spiritual from the Fisk Jubilee Singers' book of 1872, Theodore F. Seward's Jubilee Songs. Seward noted that more than half the book's melodies leave out the fourth and seventh notes of the scale; this tune is one of them, using only five notes. Our tune and words are read from its unison melody, a tone higher, in A minor; the four parts are our own. This is the refrain and three of its four verses for 2 to 4 singers: the soprano sings each verse alone, and everyone joins its last line.
