Ride on, King Jesus!

"Ride on, King Jesus!" from the cantata Song of Man

Hall Johnson, Composer

 

Artist Michael Sumuel (bass-baritone)
Pianist     Maureen Zoltek

 

“My undergraduate voice teacher Earl Coleman is a huge champion for African-American and Black composers,” says bass-baritone Michael Sumuel. “Hall Johnson (1880-1970) become an important composer in my journey as an artist and person of faith. I’ve performed quite a few of his spiritual arrangements.”

Michael sings two of his favorites for the Atrium Sessions: ‘Ride On, King Jesus’ and, soon to follow, ‘Take My Mother Home.'
