James Weldon
Johnson.
The poem
and original hymn-like
music of Lift Every Voice
and Sing, by James and J.
Rosamond Johnson,
reverberate through the
decades of the civil
rights movement.
Originally performed for
Booker T. Washington in
1900, it is sometimes
called the
African-American National
Anthem. This setting, by
Bob Phillips, teaches 6/8
and uses chromatic
alterations in first
position. A vocal lead
sheet is included in the
reproducible educational
packets. The
cross-curricular
programming possibilities
are vast. (2:40).
