Choral Choir (SSA) - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.845956 Composed by Maria Thompson Corley. Concert,Contemporary. Octavo. 7 pages. Maria Thompson Corley #6679309. Published by Maria Thompson Corley (A0.845956). The text to this dramatic, intense song was inspired by the events of the summer of 2020; that said, the trope it addresses goes back for many years. The message is this: no person can be summed up by one emotion, and all have the right to be angry, on occasion. Black women have more reason to be angry than a lot of people, and while we shouldn't be consumed by anger, we shouldn't feel like we can't express it, either. Anger results from hurt or fear; the more lyrical middle section alludes to the pain that we've experienced. The song ends with the defiant question: But what if I were? If you have questions, Raehann Bryce and Jeanne-Minette Cilliers capture this song perfectly in the YouTube video. For reasons I can't explain, I'm unable to add the link, however, it's on my Maria Corley YouTube channel.
