for SATB Chorus (divisi) and Piano
By Gwyneth Walker
The texts for these four songs are taken from a series of "Freedom Songs" which Thomas Merton wrote in 1966. These poems were created in response in connection with the Christian non-violent movement for Civil Rights. Thus, faith, equality and peace are the unifying themes in the songs.
The ordering of the texts and the creation of the musical settings have been formed with the intent of presenting a growth in the intensity of the message. From the quiet "Evening Prayer" to the powerful "There Is a Way to Glory," the songs span a variety of imagery and musical language. The prayer, the voice of faith and the affirmation of equality grow ever more insistent.
Images central to the various songs are: "Evening Prayer - the prayer rising; "I Have Called You" - forceful, the voice of the Lord speaking. "Be My Defender" - growth in intensity from quiet supplication to the dramatic "There Is a Way to Glory" - a triumphant march to glory!
