“When Jazz Meets Gospel”
Part 3: “Go Down Moses”
The Negro spiritual “Go Down Moses” dates back to the mid 1800s and relates how God sent Moses to Pharaoh demanding that he “Let my people go”, i.e. release of the Israelites from bondage in Egypt. “Israel” represents the African-American slaves while “Egypt” and “Pharaoh” represent the slave masters:
When Israel was in Egypt’s land: Let my people go,
Oppress’d so hard they could not stand, Let my People go.
Go down, Moses,
Way down in Egypt’s land,
Tell old Pharaoh,
Let my people go.
