A Service of Remembrance
For the children who died in racial violence, Birmingham, 1963
Voicing: SATB, Soprano, Tenor, and Bass Soloists, congregation and Piano
By K. Lee Scott

"Band of Angels" is a unique work in the form of a service of worship in African American style. Written by Birmingham composer, K. Lee Scott, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in which four children lost their lives, it was premiered as part of Birmingham's official 50th anniversary of the civil rights events of 1963. Musical selections include choir anthems, hymns (audience participation is encouraged) and solos all accompanied with piano with optional organ. Scripture readings are suggested between the musical numbers. Ideal for Martin Luther King Day or Black History Month, it can be presented by a single choral ensemble, or as at the premiere, by more than one group with various ensembles alternating.
