Joshua fit the battle of Jericho,
Jericho, Jericho,
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho,
And the walls came tumblin' down.
Why this is a story to celebrate, I cannot tell you.
What the meaning of the verb, "fit" in the above spiritual is, I also cannot tell you.
What I can tell you, however, is that according to the splendid radio talkshow "Radiolab," (radiolab.org), it would require 177 decibels of sound to bring down the walls of Jericho, which amounts to a calculated minimum of 407,380 horns.
I thought it had been a while since I did a piano video, so here we have it.
The arrangement is by Mark Hayes.
