Commissioned by the SFLGFB for their Pride Concert of 2014 this piece for concert band and choir incorporates Mandela's favorite poem, Invictus. As the title suggest the music starts in a dark, ominous mood and struggles through each verse before emerging in a triumphant final verse. Perfect for MLK Day concerts or any occasion celebrating equality and unity among people!
