This hit from Joe South was released in 1970 but continues to proclaim a message more timely than ever. Racial tolerance and the need for perspective and compassion are wrapped up in a classic rock sheen that's a breeze to sing.

A solo voice opens this moving anthem of individuality that doubles as a celebration of music. When all the voices join, singers echo warm phrases from part to part and build to an important realization at the bridge: If we all sing together, our songs will become like a symphony. You'll feel a firm tug of the heartstrings as the fully harmonized final verse builds to an impressive cadence and a momentous fermata. An awesome opener or closer in any voicing, and one you won't soon forget.

New for SA voices, this stunningly expressive work was commissioned for a vast number of high school choir programs forced to cancel concerts due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Inspiring and reflective, the rich harmonies capture both a sense of poignancy and hope. An optional descant soars above the choir, adding a sense of expansiveness: Your voice brings hope! Over 200 singers from five high schools coast to coast learned the piece separately using part-dominant tracks and recorded their performances for the virtual choir premiere.
