For my 64th work, I thought it would be fitting to compose
something for the 50th Anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s
I Have a Dream Speech. The number association also lines up with
the year of assassination of King and Lincoln. There are highly
virtuousic techniques used in this piece, while still having a
lyrical quality. Lift Every Voice and Sing is used in a few unique
ways as motivic development. Many have proclaimed it as the Black
National Anthem, but that is not official. The work comes from a
poem of the same title for the celebration of Lincoln's birthday.
The original poem discusses how far God has brought us. Many feel
that MLK's dream has been accomplished, while others feel his
dream, is unfinished. 4 mallet marimba Level: Professional
