Freedom is coming is an incredibly infectious celebration of hope and freedom from oppression. I have coupled it with Hamba vangeli ('Spread the new word'), as its musical feel and declamatory message follow on well. Pay attention to the dynamics – there are lots of opportunities for contrasts and a gradual build-up of texture, as well as chances for soloists to sing out. In Freedom is coming, watch out for the different rhythm on 'oh yes I … know' – it might catch you out!
