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) / Orchestre A Cordes

A bright well-crafted piece written by Jerry Estes especially for young and developing choirs. This work has a spiritual feel but a non-sacred text: ideal for today's choirs. Singable melodies...and every voice part gets an opportunity to sing the melody. For 3-part mixed choir.

Everyone Sang was written for a wedding blessing at Wells Cathedral on 26th May 2007. The choir on that occasion featured many singers from the operatic world and this combined with the emotional nature of the occasion explains something of its ecstatic style. The poem is truly beautiful and offers much opportunity for word-setting. Opening in unison the musical material follows the wonderful images of the poem leading to a shattering climax for 'everyone's voice was suddenly lifted'. A warm chord emerges for the 'setting sun' before the mood darkens slightly for the following lines before the final pages of profound peace; 'the singingwill never be done' is repeated until almost inaudible and finally left hanging in space. An excellent addition to the remembrance and war commemoration repertoire for use in concert hall or church especially during the centenary commemorations of the First World War.

This beloved hymn, often referred to as the Black national anthem, was first performed in 1900. Widely considered to be a treasure, it is frequently chosen to celebrate important moments in gatherings and commemorations of the African American Civil Rights Movement. In this adaptation, Heather Sorenson and Rev. James Ward have collaborated in an effort that highlights the cooperation of black and white composers working together to honor the message of social justice.
