In the liturgy, the Amen is the act of consent of the people to the Work of God, as the ministers exercise it; it is also his act of adherence to the prayers made in his name by the celebrant. This sacred work is written by Pierre Tossou, choirmaster in Toulouse. He conducts the vocal ensemble of Rangueil in the same city. The organ part can be played on the piano and is not difficult. The vocal parts can be sung by any level singers.

This medley is composed of two spirituals coming from African-American tradition. It can be either performed with binary form, as it is mentioned in the writing or with swinging ternary form. Swinging arms and clapping hands like African-American choirs do, is recommended. You can swing from right to left on the 1st and 3rd times and clap your hands on the 2nd and 4th times of “Amen.” You can swing and open your arms up and in front of you on “shine” and “love,” lyrics from “This Little Light of Mine.” The last “amen” is sung with increasing semi-tones, as it is often the case in African-American tradition; it creates an exhilarating effect. You will need a soloist to perform this song. It can be sung accompanied or not and the figuration is mentioned.
