Description:
The friction between professed ideals and painful reality that Langston Hughes captured in his poem, 'Let America Be America Again, ' is also the foundation of the piece commissioned by Shannon Lyles and the Freedom High School Patriot Singers in Orlando, FL. FHS serves such a diverse community of immigrants that eleven languages were represented in Ms. Lyles' top choir. Emma Lazarus' words, which are engraved at the base of the Statue of Liberty, are a perfect foil to Hughes' dark (but ultimately hopeful) sentiments. The members of the choir were asked to complete three prompts I hope…/I dream…/I sing... some of which are included in this unique and powerful piece. Duration:6:00
