Here's a choral fantasy on the traditional African American spiritual, “Soon I Will Be Done.” The grave Wagnerian opening sets the stage for the fiery main theme of the piece–a triplet feeling motif in the lower piano that continues under each chorus statement of the melody. The choir re-enters in the role of the “orchestra” in the second chorus with a haunting legato counter melody that leads up to the first verse. Each verse should have a Gospel/Stride feel with the choir, particularly the upper voices, switching to a more Gospel sound and rhythmic feel. The A sections should be performed with aggression and angst to contrast the calm legato middle section. That middle section is our musical prayer of hope that, like the sentiment of this Spiritual, will continue to live in our hearts despite the sometimes difficult realities of life.

Originally published in 1978, this expressive and dynamic anthem from Undine Smith Moore is ideal for Lent or anytime a choral setting of the Kyrie is needed, and it has now been re-released in the St. Olaf Choral Series. Editor Anton Armstrong notes that Undine Smith Moore was often referred to as the “Dean of Black Women Composers, and while many of her compositions are concert arrangements of African American spirituals, this piece is an original work written in the harmonic and melodic style of a spiritual. Suggestions by the editors provide tips for smaller choirs who wish to sing this anthem.
