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.
