NOTES: "Been Down into the Sea" comes from "Old Plantation Hymns" By William Eleazar Barton and is usually titled "Hallelujah, I Been Down into the Sea." It's been called the African-American version of the Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus" because the chorus of the spiritual opens with a series of Hallelujahs.
