From Like Dust I Rise (A Choral Song Cycle). Composed by Mark Hayes. This edition: SoundTrax CD. Choral Octavo; Performance Music Ensemble; Single Titles. Alfred Choral Designs. Peace/Brotherhood; Secular. CD. Alfred Music #00-46422. Published by Alfred Music (AP.46422). UPC: 038081528014. English.
This contemporary gospel-style rouser denounces oppression and serves as a choral anthem for equal rights. A confident solo voice helps deliver a determined message in the unwavering words of Maya Angelou. If performing as a set, an alternate ending segues directly into the closing movement of Like Dust I Rise. When performing separately, Mark Hayes includes an upward modulation that propels us to the final, most spirited refrain.
