I have a group of 5-6 high school juniors/seniors and am looking for a simple (hopefully 2-part) a cappella piece (spiritual). Does anybody know good pieces or has anybody composed good ones?
I appreciate your advice!

If their voices sound as good as I'm assuming, then harmonizing His eye is on the Sparrow, or Take courage my Soul (encourage my soul to some) would be nice with them. Take courage my soul sounds nice acapella, but for his eye is on the sparrow, you will have to get creative. I can imagine soprano, alto, and tenor parts, and the other two doing scat-libs (scats and ad-libs). Teens are creative (I would know, I am one) so ya'll just put ya'll heads together and tweak the songs.

a good one you can do (we do at church)
*We come this far by Faith
*Hallelujah Salvation and Glory
*Encourage My soul

"Come Thy Fount"
-
Ride on King Jesus
-
Most hymns should work. And don't worry about them seeming "old." They are severely missed and people would be very appreciative.

Beams of Heaven or The Lord Is My Light

IF THEY CONSIDER THERE SELVES ADVANCE GO WITH SOME TAKE 6 YO.
HOLLA

You could try Byron's Thou Art a SHield For Me: Psalm #. It sounds terrific w/out music and all harmonized and stuf.

My Soul Doth Magnify The Lord
My young adult choir did this one and brought the house DOWN!!!!! also would you consider What if God is not happy with our praise??? We did that with the teens too and it was beautiful.

yea that one is good

Yeah, even though some music is played along, it can easily be sing without music. Another one I can't think of right now is by Florida A&M University Gospel Choir. Once I locate my cd and listen for the song, I'll post it.

Yes, that's the one, thanks. ;D
I think COGIC International Choir also recorded it too.

I HAVE A GOSPEL GROUP OF ABOUT 8 TO NINE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND WE SOUND THE BEST ON HOW EXCELLENT. OIT IS OLD BUT IF SUNG RIGHT CAN BRING THE HOUSE DOWN... BELIEVE ME
-
there's a rendition of "Ezekiel Saw The Wheel" out there that I've heard choirs rock out.
-
Another Walt Whitman classic, "Holy Holy Holy", I think 5-6 youth can pull it off :)

I am a youth choir director and my choir sang "Elijah Rock" and "The battle of Jericho" by Moses Hogan and we tore it DOWN!!!!! The choir consists of youth from 16 to 24 and it was hotness. ;D ;D

Yes!! I have done this song with the high school choir I direct, and they ROCKED it!! Also "Ride on King Jesus", and "Go Down Moses" are two other a cappella songs we have done.

Try "The Gospel Train"

My friends bible college just did a rendition of Jesus Loves me that was done first by Generation J ( I think) and it was phenomenal. If you go to Calvarytabindy.org and look under their music go to the part that talks about last years music fest you may be able to see them perform it live. It is a really fun song not only to sing but also to listen to. I think your young people would like it a lot.

It depends on your range of your singers...
If they can handle 3 part harmony then you could possibly sing King Jesus is a Listen' When You Pray

"Ride on King Jesus" is a real good one and easy too. John Kee's "Lily in the Valley" is cool. Add a baratone if you have one. Have fun with it.

definately King Jesus is a Listenin' When you Pray is an awesome song for a capella our choir used to sing that song like every sunday i swear and now we kinda hate it so dont do that at ur church cuz it can get old quick.

What about Olanda Draper's My Soul Doth Magnify the Lord. It's not choral but its acapella and tight... Ezekial saw the wheel is a classic.
-
This may require you to step back into time but try these! Our young adult qui sung these and literally tore down the house!!!!
Blessed Assurance - Rev. Velmer Watkins Album: "Bless His Holy Name!" HOTT!
Guide Me O (thou great Jehovah) - A.L. Jinwright Mass Qui Album: Wait On the Lord
Oh and i also recommend "What if God is Unhappy..." and Benedict College Gospel Qui's "You Won't Find A Man"
All these are Spirit Lifting Guaranteed!! ;)

He's Alive by Walt Whitman. The best a cappella piece for the youth HANDS DOWN
