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.
