The Gift to Sing
Receiving an honorable mention for the 2020 King's Singers New Music Prize, this sparkling arrangement sets James Weldon Johnson's text about singing through adversity: "...and if the way grows darker still, shadowed by Sorrow's somber wing, with glad defiance in my throat, I pierce the darkness with a note, and sing ... no nights are dark, no days are long, while in my heart there swells a song, and I can sing." Deeply encouraging, and suitable for a variety of performance situations.
