Publisher's Synopsis

for SATB (with divisions) unaccompanied The Gift to Sing is an unaccompanied part-song with a text by American writer and civil rights activist James Weldon Johnson that speaks to the way the power of song can help to overcome dark times. Geter paints the text 'I pierce the darkness with a note' with sustained pitches, and the piece's prevailing triple metre gives momentum to the lilting melodies that weave through the voices.
