Texts by David Lang, after Stephen Foster, Sullivan Ballou, and Abraham Lincoln. Duration: approximately 45 min. Commissioned by the Mendelssohn Club of Philadelphia and the Leah Stein Dance Company. Prefatory program and performance notes in English. "All movements are a cappella, except for the fourth movement--As I would not be a slave--which includes a military drum. Ideally, this part should be played by a member of the chorus, and any snare or field drum can work, depending on the resonance of the hall."--Prefatory notes.
