Langston Hughes' poem is set for choir and piano exceptionally well by composer Anthony Bernarducci. The composer says, â??When beginning to set this short yet powerful poem, it became clear to me that each stanza had its own character contributing to the overall message.â? For this reason, he set the music in a similar fashion. Each stanza has its own musical independence, but also deliberate 'connective tissue' to join the sections together. The text speaks a message of the strength of inner power. While the choir introduces the text, the cello plays a melody similar to the opening vocal solo meant to portray that our strength is always within us even in the moments of darkness. Masterfully written, this piece will be an impactful addition to your concert programming.
