The Ten Commandments

If you ever thought that what you really needed was a jazz/blues rendition of the Ten Commandments in a Peggy Lee style, then Sister Janet Mead was way ahead of you in the seventies, and included it on her With You I Am record.

It was written by Ursula Hicks, and it would have fitted into the Lloyd-Webber/rock opera idea of multiple genres just fine. It includes the timeless lyrics, “dance not to the devil’s can-can”.

Like most of this album the sheet music is out of print and all I can suggest is the second hand market.

I rarely get to use this sort of style in Band in a Box for church music.
