for SATB and piano

This inspiring piece opens with repeated powerful statements of the opening line of the text 'Lift every voice and sing' by writer and civil rights activist James Weldon Johnson. The rising opening vocal figures develop in strength until a central section in which the loud, rolling sea is musically represented with a change to a propulsive compound metre. The piece culminates in a strong, victorious ending.
