About Every Time I Feel the Spirit

Words: traditional spiritual, as sung at Hampton Institute (printed 1909)

Tune: traditional spiritual, as sung at Hampton Institute (printed 1909)

Every Time I Feel the Spirit is a spiritual as Hampton Institute sang it. R. Nathaniel Dett, who edited the school's songbook in 1927, wrote that its tunes and harmonies were set down as the students sang them, in a tradition going back to 1868. Our tune and words are read from that book, where it is called Ev'ry Time I Feel the Spirit, in E-flat as printed; the four parts are our own, checked against its chords. This is the refrain, sung twice as its repeat marks say, and two of its three verses, each followed by the refrain, for 2 to 4 singers, at an easy walking pace: the alto sings each verse alone.
