About Steal Away

Words: traditional spiritual, attributed to Wallace Willis (published 1872)

Tune: traditional spiritual (published 1872)

Steal Away is a spiritual, one of the songs of enslaved African Americans, attributed to Wallace Willis. Our arrangement takes its melody and words from Theodore Seward's Jubilee Songs of 1872, the songs as sung by the Jubilee Singers of Fisk University, keeping the book's key of F and its spelling "hain't". W. E. B. Du Bois later called it the song of songs. For 2 to 4 singers, it has the refrain, the first verse and the refrain again. The refrain is in close harmony; in the verse the soprano sings the words while the others hum the chords, and everyone joins on the last line.
