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.

6.88 x 10.5 inches.

Marianne Forman's melodic gifts are clear in this bright youthful setting of joyful and optimistic words, rejoicing at the beauty of the world around us. Clear melodic statements eventually give way to imitative and canonic treatment, easily learned by young singers, as well as brief opportunities for three-part harmony. For SSA voices with piano.
