Music Down In My Soul
Music Down in My Soul features heartfelt, joyful selections to inspire hopefulness, strength in action and togetherness for both the audience and singers. Focusing on music with lyrics including We keep our dreams alive, together we survive, the program brims with positive spirit and inspirational messages of hope. This soulful mix of spirituals, gospel, and contemporary choral music spans 300 years of courage and resistance from the Americas, Yemen, China, Tanzania, and South Africa, sung in Mandarin, Spanish, Hebrew, Swahili and Zulu. These are songs of praise bursting with joyful energy, dynamic contrasts, captivating solos, exciting percussion, and a wide range of layered vocal textures.
Listeners will delight in multicultural favorites including Leonard Cohens Hallelujah, I Sing Because Im Happy (His Eye is on the Sparrow) adapted by Rollo Dilworth, Hold On! by Moses Hogan, and lesser known, uplifting inspirations including Soon Love, Soon by Vienna Teng and The Storm Is Passing Over by Charles Albert Tindley. Concert highlights include the world premiere of George Emlen and Paul Stookeys new arrangement of the classic American the Beautiful and the reprise performance of the Halalisa 20th anniversary commission We Sing by Brian Tate.
