James Weldon Johnson's powerful poem, “O Southland!,” receives an altogether new musical treatment with this moving piece for treble voices and piano. Utilizing quotes of Negro spiritual repertory and the call-and-response of the Black church, you and your singers will enjoy this beautiful conjunction of melodic lilt and rhythmic verve, fueled by Johnson's timeless lyric. Your collaborative pianist and bassist should add another level of excitement via the harmonic influences of jazz and Black gospel music.

Michael Cox has arranged his madrigal-like carol for SSAA voices. Lilting Alleluia refrains contrast with introspective verses that are a perfect vehicle for the thought-provoking imagery of poet Paulann Canty. Repeated musical material makes the piece easy to learn, so that rehearsal time can be spent on a flexible and sensitive performance. SATB and TTBB voicings also available. Duration 2:30.
