Old Time Religion Medley is an energetic general praise anthem containing four popular
traditional spirituals, including Old Time Religion, Standin’ in the Need of Prayer, Down
by the Riverside, and Do, Lord. Suggested corresponding lectionary readings include
Deuteronomy 34: 1-12, Psalm 35: 1-14, Matthew 22: 1-14, and Philippians 4: 1-9. One
basic theme is serving God through prayer, praise and thanksgiving.
This rousing medley may be accompanied by keyboard alone, an instrumental ensemble
comprised of 2 trumpets, tenor trombone, bass trombone, guitar, bass, drums and piano,
or a fully-orchestrated instrumental accompaniment track. The medley is composed of little
musical vignettes from some of the most popular spirituals of all time. Solo opportunities
abound and should be freely assigned depending upon the performance abilities of the
singers. Close “jazz” harmonies should be carefully tuned and balanced, and a relaxed
“jazz” rhythmic swing should pervade the anthem.
Mark Hayes is an award-winning concert pianist, composer and arranger of choral, piano
and orchestral music. With over 550 published works to his credit, Mark has also recorded
numerous solo piano albums and has received the Gospel Music Association’s prestigious
Dove Award, which is equivalent to a Grammy in gospel music. A graduate of Baylor
University, he has served as an adjunct professor of composition at Midwestern Baptist
Theological Seminary in Kansas City, Missouri.
