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.

A setting
of a nativity poem from
Her Maker's Maker by
Michael Symmons Roberts,
New-made for a king was
commissioned by Andreas
Klatt for Farnham Youth
Choir. Scored mainly in
four parts, the choral
texture is homophonic,
the harmony rich yet
approachable by young
performers, with a
decorative piano
accompaniment. In the
mould of a lullaby, the
piece's over-riding calm
is troubled towards the
close by indistinct pp
lontano interjections
from the piano, in
response to the poem's
portentous closing
words.

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.
