Ain´t Got Time to Die (Ain-a That Good News?) is an inventive pairing of two very popular spirituals, Ain´t Got Time to Die and Ain´t That Good News. Arranged by Philip Kern, Ain´t Got Time to Die (Ain-a That Good News?) opens slowly with a grand, dramatic statement, then quickly shifts into a bright swing feel (be careful to "swing" the eighth notes!). Lively call-and-response in the voices and a playful accompaniment make this a joy to prepare and sing.
