(Songs for Sister Lisa)
For Mezzo Soprano Solo and SATB Chorus, a cappella
By Adolphus Hailstork
From the blog of Opera Roanoke: "The four spirituals are densely packed portraits resonant with the black church tradition... Weaving together a fabric of history and presence, pain and struggle, exile and homecoming, Goin' Home is an engaging musical canvas whose complex palette is challenging as it is rewarding. It is a resounding affirmation of a life whose impact cannot be measured, and continues to be felt."
