- Steal Away (ou Steal Away to Jesus) est une chanson de negro spiritual américaine. (fr)
- "Steal Away" ("Steal Away to Jesus") is an American Negro spiritual. The song is well known by variations of the chorus: Steal away, steal away, steal away to Jesus!Steal away, steal away home, I hain't got long to stay here Songs such as "Steal Away to Jesus", "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot", "Wade in the Water" and the "Gospel Train" are songs with hidden codes, not only about having faith in God, but containing hidden messages for slaves to run away on their own, or with the Underground Railroad. "Steal Away" the song was composed by Wallace Willis, a slave of a Choctaw freedman in the old Indian Territory, sometime before 1862. Alexander Reid, a minister at a Choctaw boarding school, heard Willis singing the songs and transcribed the words and melodies. He sent the music to the Jubilee Singers of Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee. The Jubilee Singers then popularized the songs during a tour of the United States and Europe. "Steal Away" the song is a standard Gospel song, and is found in the hymnals of many Protestant denominations. An arrangement of the song is included in the oratorio A Child of Our Time, first performed in 1944, by the classical composer Michael Tippett (1908–98). Many recordings of the song have been made including versions by Pat Boone and Nat King Cole. (en)
- Steal Away (Steal Away to Jesus) è uno spiritual nero statunitense. Il canto è molto noto per le variazioni del coro: Canti come "Steal Away tu Jesus", "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot", "Wade in the Water" e il "Gospel Train" sono canzoni con codici nascosti, non solo di avere fede in Dio, ma contenenti messaggi nascosti per gli schiavi a scappare da soli, o con l'Underground Railroad. "Steal Away" fu composta da Wallace Willis, un nativo Choctaw liberto nel vecchio territorio indiano, qualche tempo prima del 1862: Alexander Reid, un religioso in un collegio Choctaw, aveva sentito Willis cantare le canzoni e trascrisse le parole e le melodie. Mandò la musica ai Jubilee Singers della Fisk University di Nashville, Tennessee: I Jubilee Singers hanno poi reso popolare le canzoni durante un tour degli Stati Uniti e in Europa. Steal Away è un normale canto Gospel e si trova nelle collezioni di inni di molte congregazioni protestanti. Un arrangiamento del brano fa parte dell'oratorio A Child of Our Time, eseguito la prima volta nel 1944, del compositore classico Michael Tippett. (it)
