The poem“Lift Every Voice and Sing” was written by acclaimed African American poet James Weldon Johnson in 1900 and set to music byhis brother John Rosamond Johnson in 1905. The Edward B. Marks Music Company first published the song in 1921, which remains strongly associated with social justice and patriotism, particularly in African-American communities. While at one time it could be found pasted to the back of some hymnals used in African-American churches, today the song is formally printed under headings such asnational songs orsocial justice in many modern hymnals. Other versions include a concert setting published in 1978 for SATB chorus and piano by Roland Carter, a setting by Hale Smith for SATB chorus and orchestra also dating from the 70s, and a modern R&B recorded version released in 1990 featuring Dione Warwick, Stevie Wonder, and Take 6. This newly engraved edition of the Hale Smith orchestration will make the music accessible to more organizations.

“The Hymn!” is a contemporary a cappella arrangement of some of the most influential and inclusive American patriotic hymns: My Country Tis of Thee, Battle Hymn of the Republic, and Lift Every Voice and Sing. This arrangement is an epic montage from the inspirational pen of none other than prolific choral arranger and composer Stacey V. Gibbs. You can hear and feel the true humanity in the 12/8 rhythmics pulse, supported by a single snare drum–the drum representing the drum major for justice and peace throughout the entire work. Excellent choral writing with a meaningful message for our times. Suitable for high school level singers to professional choirs.

Often referred to as the “Black National Anthem” this hymn melody by John Rosamond Johnson (brother of the text’s author, NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson) is given an energetic and creative treatment by M. Roger Holland II. The piano writing is accessible, lying very naturally under the hands. Driving rhythmic changes add interest, leading the piece to a dramatic and grand conclusion.
