Setting inspiring words by James Weldon Johnson, this work is poignant and stirring, encouraging singers and listeners to reflect on the challenges of present times and to move forward with courage and strength towards a brighter future. The choral writing beautifully reflects the powerful text, leading us towards a climactic reminder that "Tho' thick the battle and tho' fierce the fight, there is power in making for the right." An ideal choice for choirs looking to address issues of social justice in their programming.
