The title Fanmi Im?¨n is Haitian Creole for Maya Angelouâ??s famous work, Human Family. Both the musical and literary poems acknowledge differences within mankind due to ethnicity, background, and geography, but Angelouâ??s refrain: â??we are more alike, my friends, than we are unalikeâ?, reaffirms our humanity as a reminder of unity. Colemanâ??s work draws inspiration from French flute music blended with an underlying pentatonicism found in Asian traditions, a caravan through Middle Eastern parts of the world merging with Flamenco, and an upbeat journey southward into Africa with the sounds of Kalimba (thumb piano). Fanmi Im?¨n was commissioned by the National Flute Association for its 2018 High School Soloist Competition.
