James Weldon Johnson.

Winner of Honorable Mention in the 2020 King's Singers New Music Prize, Marianne Forman's sparkling music 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, especially as choirs work through the events of 2020. Also available for SATB.

Ideal for children's choir, it features a memorable melody and nostalgic harmonies against the backdrop of train-like sound effects from the voices and percussion (sand blocks, triangle, and train whistle).
